Workshops

The “Workshop on Many-Body Quantum Magic” will bring together experts from universities, national laboratories and technology companies with expertise in quantum information science and various areas of many-body and high-energy physics, to further the development of quantum complexity – entanglement and nonstabilizerness (magic) – as a quantitative tool in the study of strongly correlated quantum systems, including those relevant to nuclear physics.

Exotic atoms—where electrons are replaced by heavier particles such as muons, pions, kaons, antiprotons or heavier antinuclei—serve as very powerful precision laboratories to investigate the fundamental interactions and symmetries of nature.

The past fifteen years have seen a remarkable evolution in our perception of hadron structure. Especially within the past five years, modern experimental facilities, new techniques for the continuum bound-state problem, and progress with lattice-regularized QCD have begun pointing to a crucial role for soft quark + quark (diquark) correlations in forming the structure of hadrons.

The proposed workshop will cover one of the most outstanding topics of strong interaction physics which is the dynamics of quark-gluon interaction in the nuclear medium.

The quest for a theory capable of describing both the microscopic and macroscopic realms is on the verge of a paradigm shift. At the center of this shift lies one of the longest-standing debates in the foundations of quantum mechanics: the nature of wave-function collapse, i.e. the “measurement problem”.
