Paths to Quantum Field Theory: June 22-26, 2026

Organized by: Aleksey Cherman (U of Minnesota) Sungwoo Hong, (KAIST) Nabil Iqbal (Durham U) Zohar Komargodski (SCGP) Emily Nardoni, (Vassar College) Tin Sulejmanpasic (Durham U) Nathanan Tantivasadakarn (SBU) Our workshop proposal centers on trying to bring together the members of several disjoint communities in a productive and informative way. While workshops to this effect do … Read more

Workshop: Complexity, information, and tractable simulations of quantum many-body dynamics: June 8-12, 2026

Organized by: Vincenzo Alba Jerome Dubail Mari-Carmen Banuls Aditi Mitra Anatoli Polkovniko The workshop will foster interactions among experts in quantum and classical simulation methods, quantum information, and tractable systems, to assess the state-of-the art of these questions, and propose benchmarks that may help answer it. First, the workshop will stimulate a complexity-informed exploration of … Read more

Complexity, information, and tractable simulations of quantum many-body dynamics: June 1 – July 2, 2026

Organized by: Vincenzo Alba Jerome Dubail Mari-Carmen Banuls Aditi Mitra Anatoli Polkovnikov Triggered by unprecedented control in cold-atom experiments, trapped ion setups, or superconducting platforms, the rise of Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices urges theoretical physicists, computational scientists and mathematicians to quantitatively assess the complexity of quantum many-body dynamics and quantify the computational capabilities … Read more

Geometric Measure Theory on Metric Spaces with Applications to Physics and Geometry: September 15-19, 2025

Organized by: Luigi Ambrosio (Pisa) Andrea Mondino (Oxford) Raquel Perales (CIMAT) Christina Sormani (CUNYGC and Lehman College) In the nearly twenty-five years since the publication of Ambrosio-Kirchheim’s seminal paper, Currents on Metric Spaces, there have been significant applications of this generalization of Geometric Measure Theory (GMT) that deepen our understanding of both Geometry and Physics. … Read more

Geometry and Convergence in Mathematical General Relativity: August 25 – Oct 3, 2025

Organized by: Marcus Khuri (Stony Brook) Michael Kunzinger (U Vienna) Andrea Mondino (University of Oxford) Raquel Perales (CIMAT) Richard Schoen (UC Irvine) Christina Sormani (CUNYGC and Lehman College) Guoliang Yu (TAMU) In the past decade, significant advances in the understanding of spaces arising in General Relativity have been achieved using techniques from Metric Geometry, Optimal … Read more
