PI-UIUC Joint Workshop on Strongly Correlated Quantum Many-Body Systems

The main purpose of this workshop is to exchange new ideas in strongly correlated electron systems and promote collaborations among researchers at the Perimeter Institute and the University of Illionis at Urbana-Champaign.

Last year, the first joint workshop between the two institutes was held at Urbana-Champaign with focus on topological quantum matter, application of holographic methods in condensed matter physics and Majorana fermions.

This year, Perimeter Institute plans to host the second joint workshop. The topics to be discussed in the workshop include the interplay between symmetry and topology in quantum many-body systems, entanglement in numerical simulations and experiments, quantum phase transitions and criticality.
