Venue
Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden
Scope
Quantum many-body entanglement has become an invaluable tool to characterize states of matter in complex quantum systems. The past two decades have seen substantial progress not only in theoretical developments refining this core concept of quantum mechanics, but also on a practical level with the advent of engineered quantum platforms that allow for the synthesis of entangled states of matter in the lab. Only rather recently, the investigation of many-body entanglement has gained an additional dimension – the temporal domain. The aim of the proposed Nordita program is to bring together researchers working on this exciting new and promising direction, the study of entanglement dynamics in quantum many-body systems, in order to exchange ideas and come up with new research perspectives and to push this emerging field forward.
Program themes
