Place: Hotel Calípolis, Sitges (Barcelona)
Condensed matter meets c-QED
Interdisciplinary workshop at Sitges (Spain), May 14th-16th, 2025 (sponsored by ICFO)
Steering committee:
- D. Chang (ICFO)
- J. Marino (JGU/Mainz)
- S. Sachdev (Harvard)
Recent years have signaled the arrival of a new frontier in quantum optics, to explore strongly correlated light and matter using cavity QED systems. The goal of the workshop is to accelerate these efforts and identify new possibilities, by fostering interdisciplinary discussions between the AMO community and condensed matter theorists whose work aligns with themes of potential collaborations.
Themes of the workshop include:
Correlated quantum matter in optical cavities (and their relation to electron phonon systems)
Realization of exotic spin models in light-matter interfaces (e.g. spin liquids, spin glasses, etc)
Development of state-of-art methods for solving driven-dissipative quantum systems
Invited speakers:
E. Altman (Berkeley), Y. Ashida (Tokyo), F. Becca (Triest), J. P. Brantut (EPFL), A. Clerk (Chicago), N. Cooper (Cambridge), A. Daley (Oxford), S. Gopalakrishnan (Princeton), M. Holland (CU Boulder), J. Knolle (Munich), A. Lucas (CU Boulder), Z. Lenarcic (Ljubljana), C.-R. Mann (ICFO), F. Piazza (Augsburg), H. Pichler (Innsbruck), J. Schmalian (Karlsruhe), R. Samjdar (Princeton), A. Sandvik (Boston University), M. Stefanini (JGU Mainz)
Guidelines for an interdisciplinary talk:
Given the diverse audience of the workshop, we kindly suggest all speakers to dedicate approximately one-third of their talk to motivating their research question in a manner that could resonate with both communities. We encourage avoiding excessive jargon and technical details to ensure accessibility. Additionally, we recommend focusing on a maximum of 1–2 key results, that pertain to the theme of the workshop, to provide a deeper and more focused discussion.
