Nordita Winter School 2023 - Dynamics of Open Classical & Quantum Condensed Matter Systems

Scope and purpose

Nordita will host the winter 2023 school on Dynamics of Open Classical and Quantum systems in Jan 16-27, 2023 in Stockholm. The main audience of the school are PhD students, advanced Master students and postdocs. Lectures on specific topics will start with a broad introduction of the subjects and move on to describe the current concepts and results in this rapidly evolving field. 

We particularly encourage students from Nordic and Baltic regions to attend.  Participants from all other regions also will be considered, but priority for in-person attendance will be given to applications from the above regions.

The winter school in Nordita takes place annually on different subtopics in theoretical physics. Every 3-4 years the school is focused on condensed matter topics; one can have a look at the previous condensed matter schools below:                    
2011 - https://nordita.org/winterschool2011                    
2014 - https://nordita.org/winterschool2014                    
2018 - https://nordita.org/winterschool2018                    

In 2023 the school will contain 2 weeks of lectures in 10 topics. Each lecture course contains 4 hours of lectures with possible on-site tutorials (depending on the lecturer). The way in which the schedule is structured aims at having classical and quantum topics on corresponding phenomena close to each other (please see the list of topics and the schedule structure below).

Format

The participants (including lecturers) are supposed to come in person to Nordita. It will be possible to contribute to a poster session.

For those who would like to get a prior acquaintance with the topics of the school, we are considering to organize some brief online introductions a few days before the school starts. This will depend on the amount of interested participants. 

During the weekend between the two weeks of the school there will be a lab tour of experimental facilities at the Albanova campus.
