NES2023 — New Trends in Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics
09 Oct 2023 - 15 Oct 2023 • Erice, Italy
Organizer:
A. Carollo (Università degli Studi di Palermo), A. Lanzara (University of California, Berkeley), G. M. Palma (Università degli Studi di Palermo), B. Spagnolo (Università degli Studi di Palermo)
Abstract:
A common phenomenon in the dynamics of out of equilibrium systems is the metastability, and the problem of the lifetime of metastable states involves fundamental aspects of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. In spite of such ubiquity, the microscopic understanding of metastability and related out of equilibrium dynamics still raise fundamental questions. Stochastic many-body systems, classical and quantum, often display a complex and slow relaxation towards a stationary state. This nonlinear relaxation process in multistable systems is crucial for understanding the transient dynamics in complex physical and biological systems. This Workshop will bring together leading experts and research groups with significant contribution to the contemporary state-of-the-art of nonequilibrium classical and quantum systems, working towards the development of new quantum technologies. Moreover, aim of this meeting is to bring together scientists interested to the challenging problems connected with the dynamics of nonequilibrium multistable systems from both theoretical and experimental point of view, within an interdisciplinary context. The conference will be a discussion forum to promote new ideas in this fertile field of research, and in particular new trends such as out-of-equilibrium systems, high-Tc superconductivity, quantum phase transitions, topological phase transitions, quantum metrology, machine learning and quantum algorithms for complex systems.

1st Spanish Soft Matter 1 ½ Day
29 Oct 2023 - 31 Oct 2023 • CENTRO DE CIENCIAS DE BENASQUE PEDRO PASCUAL, Spain
Organizer:
The meeting is hosted by the Spanish Division of Condensed Matter Physics (DFMC-GEFES) of the Spanish Royal Society of Physics
Abstract:
The 1st Spanish Soft Matter 1 ½ Day aims at bringing together soft matter researchers working in this vibrant field within Spain. Systems of interest thus span granular matter, liquid crystals, colloidal science, droplets, jets, emulsions, foams, polymers, and more broadly any many-particle system with internal characteristic length-scales between atomic and macroscopic dimensions, and that could either be at or out-of equilibrium, as in the emerging field of active matter. Mechanical, optical, electrical, and thermal aspects of these materials are all of interest, as well as their phase and non-equilibrium behavior, linear and non-linear solid-like and/or liquid-like response, and structural and dynamical properties more generally. Additionally, due to the inherent multidisciplinary nature of the field, connections between soft matter and other disciplines, including statistical mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, complex systems, biology, nanoscience, chemical and mechanical engineering, and physical chemistry are all natural.

BIRS Workshop — Infinite Dimensional Geometry and Fluids
05 Nov 2023 - 10 Nov 2023 • Banff, Alberta, Canada
Organizer:
Banff International Research Station (BIRS) for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery
Abstract:
The Banff International Research Station will host a diverse, international group of mathematicians in 2023 to study geometric approaches to fluids and optimal transport. The ideas of geodesic settings for fluids have been circulating since the late 1960s, but received a strong surge lately, in the last 5-10 years, with the development of new techniques in infinite-dimensional geometry and group theory. The original idea is that the particles in an ideal liquid or gas move in a curved infinite-dimensional space, in the same way as an airplane flying around the earth: along the shortest path. Properties of the fluid, such as how well it can be predicted in the future, how well it mixes together, and how extreme the speed can be, can all be related to how curved this infinite-dimensional space is, which helps us understand features of the weather and climate geometrically. More recently similar ideas have been used to understand solids as well, for example when a pile of rocks are transported from one place to another at the optimal cost.

Strange Metals in Quantum Materials and Quantum Emulators
11 Dec 2023 - 15 Dec 2023 • Bad Honnef, Germany
Organizer:
Wilhelm-and-Else Heraeus Foundation
Abstract:
Strange metals are one of the most prominent frontiers of condensed matter physics. While conventional metals are well described by Landau’s Fermi liquid theory – i.e. a quantum liquid of long-lived, local, electron-like quasiparticles – strange metals defy this paradigm. Here, the local low-energy excitations are extremely short lived and the adiabatic connection to free electrons breaks down. As a consequence, strange metals display a multitude of unusual experimental phenomena, including anomalous charge transport (for example linear in temperature and magnetic field scaling of resistance), singular thermodynamics, and characteristic dynamical scaling. Experimentally, strange metallic behavior has been reported in a variety of experimental systems including high-temperature superconductors and heavy fermion materials. Recent progress in experimental control and device fabrication not only allowed for much more accurate studies of these classic materials, but, in the process, also revealed strikingly new properties such as the unexpectedly simple and yet puzzle scaling of the magnetoresistance. Present-day technology adds novel quantum emulators such as twisted van-der-Waals heterostructures and cold atomic gases to the list of experimental systems displaying strange metallic behavior. At the same time, most recent theories explaining strange metallic behavior resort – from a healthy variation of perspectives – to such diverse concepts as exotic (beyond-Landau) critical quantum fluctuations, effective dual gravity models, and quantum hydrodynamics. As such, this WE-Heraeus Seminar aims at bringing together key figures in the research on strange metals. A particularly important mission is the fruitful cross-talks between experimentalists working on a variety of platforms, as well as theorists with different perspectives of the problem.

Abstract:
The MRM is the international conference launched in 2019 by the Materials Research Society of Japan (MRS-J) for promoting interdisciplinary materials crossing solid state physics, chemistry, materials science, and relevant discipline. It is a platform for high-level discussions on advanced materials research. The first meeting (in person) was held in Yokohama and the second meeting was at the same site as a hybrid due to the COVID-19. Both meetings were successful in scale (~40 symposia and ~1800 attendees) and quality: this success comes from excellent review talks by world-leading scientists, informative contributed presentations, and fruitful discussions on cutting-edge topics that transcended traditional disciplines.

The IUMRS-ICA, on the other hand, is one of the most important serial conferences of the International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS) and has been organized annually since 2008 by IUMRS members in Asia. In Japan, IUMRS-ICA was most recently held in Fukuoka in 2014, providing the opportunity for scientists, engineers, and students from not only Asia but around the world to exchange their recent achievements. A large number of researchers and students from across the world attended IUMRS-ICA, which has become a showcase for advanced materials research in Asia.

Towards Routine Orbital-free Large-Scale Quantum-Mechanical Modelling of Materials
08 Sep 2024 - 13 Sep 2024 • Hangzhou, China
Organizer:
Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (IASM)
Abstract:
This symposium brings together mathematicians, computer scientists, chemists and physicist to address a truly multidisciplinary issue of enabling large-scale atomistically-resolved, ab initio materials modeling. Such modeling capabilities are required for understanding and rational design of materials ranging from alloys to solid electrolytes for fuel cells. There is a substantial gap in theory and computing techniques which on one hand would be able to model phenomena intrinsically requiring models with millions of atoms and on the other hand provide accuracy and insight which is today routinely achievable only for unrealistically small model systems . This is a gap between a model and a reality. To bridge it, this symposium makes brains from different research fields pull in one direction. Progress that this symposium will help accelerate will mean better computational support for the development of functional materials, with more of the development moved from time-, manpower-, and $-costly lab experimentation to in-silico design.

Active Matter Across Scales and Environments
15 Oct 2024 - 18 Oct 2024 • UC Santa Barbara, United States
Organizer:
UC Santa Barbara, Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP)
Abstract:
Active matter explores collective phenomena that emerge from energy-consuming components interacting with each other and their environment. Great strides have been made in understanding the surprising behavior of active fluids, from spontaneous flow to flocking to condensation with no attractive interactions, demonstrating the relevance of the active matter paradigm to systems as diverse as collections of living organisms, cell assemblies, the cell interior, and synthetically engineered materials. A recent new direction for the field has been the study and engineering of active solids - elastically coupled networks where active energy input allows for actuation and shape changes not possible in equilibrium. This conference will bring together scientists working across active matter and related disciplines, including hydrodynamic and elastic theories of active matter, living matter, classical and quantum materials far from equilibrium, and animate matter, to study the behavior of a broad range of active solids, from active hydrogels to metamaterials to mechanical structures composed of linked robotic components. It will aim to connect these distinct branches, find overarching principles that span these fields, and identify areas for future breakthroughs.
