Workshop on Complex Quantum Matter

Évora, Portugal, 27-31 October 2025

The Workshop

This workshop is supported by several European and US projects and research centers. Our aim is to generate a lively exchange of ideas between researchers working in distinct but interrelated fields. Advances in recent years have witnessed an exciting and promising confluence of the areas of strongly correlated many-body quantum systems, including computational condensed matter physics and quantum information theory.

Topics to be discussed at the workshop will include: quantum critically; quantum transport; entanglement transitions; quantum spin liquids; nonequilibrium quantum statistics; quantum many-body chaos; topological phases of matter; novel properties of graphene; quantum integrability and superconductivity. On the theoretical side, analytical as well as computational approaches will be highlighted. On the experimental side, a few talks will focus on problems directly related to the workshop topics. The workshop will bring together a number of established experts, as well as many talented young scientists, to further explore, develop, and exploit the connections between these forefront areas of research.

Workshop history and location

Previous Évora workshops have an established tradition and have been highly successful in drawing together leading researchers and young scientists in a lively and engaging intellectual environment. A UNESCO World Heritage city, beautiful medieval town of Évora is the capital of Portugal’s south-central Alentejo region, and the month of October is an ideal period for local excursions to explore both the city and its surroundings.
