Event Description

Organizers: Shivaji Sondhi (Princeton), Raghu Mahajan (Stanford-Princeton), Rahul Nandkishore (CU Boulder), Siddharth Parameswaran (Irvine-Oxford)

Recent years have witnessed dramatic advances in our understanding of non-equilibrium statistical physics. Breakthroughs have occurred in condensed matter (many body localization and thermalization), high energy physics (scrambling by black-holes and sharp bounds on quantum chaos), quantum information (dynamics of entanglement) and beyond. This conference will  bring together experts from diverse subfields working on non-equilibrium statistical physics, to share ideas, establish a common language, and chart a path forward for the field.
