Winter Conference, January 15-21, 2017
Aspen Center for Physics

Remarkable experimental and theoretical developments in the last few years have led to a deeper understanding of the real-time dynamics of quantum many-body systems. On the theory front, the principles underlying the thermalization (or lack thereof) of quantum systems subject to different kinds of external driving, disorder, interactions and resulting internal ordering are just being discovered. Simultaneously, numerical methods have become more powerful in exploring quantum many-body dynamics. Experimental systems which have provided a window on the nature of quantum coherent dynamics include cold atomic gases, disordered superconductors and ultra-fast spectroscopic probes. This Aspen winter meeting brings together leading practitioners in the respective communities for a coherent push on the non-equilibrium frontier.
