Venue
The workshop is organized by Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden, and will be held in the Arrhenius Lab on the Frescati Campus of Stockholm University, just north of Nordita. See this Map of Frescati Campus where the routes from the subway station to the lecture halls E306 and P216 and the campus restaurant are shown.
Scope
The workshop will provide a forum for discussing recent cross-disciplinary advances in describing the dynamics of strongly-coupled many-body systems using notions from condensed matter, quantum chaos and holography. Emphasis will be placed on the impact on transport of fundamental bounds and the explicit/spontaneous breaking of symmetries. We will draw lessons on transport without quasiparticles, relevant both for theoretical models (e.g. holography, Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev) and experiments on bad metals and high Tc superconductors. This three-day event will bring together international leaders in condensed matter physics and high energy theory.
This workshop is supported by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences through its Nobel Institute for Physics, the Wenner-Gren Foundation and Nordita.
Format
The meeting starts at 9.00 am on Wednesday and ends at 5.00 pm on Friday.
