Past Workshops

The central questions we plan to explore concern the possibility of exploiting condensed matter analog models as experimental tools to understand quantum mechanical aspects of gravitation, such as the behaviour of quantum fields in the vicinity of exotic astrophysical objects such as black holes, particle creation phenomena at the end of cosmological inflation, quantum information aspects related to the information paradox and the entanglement entropy of black holes.

Decays of light mesons offer a vast multitude of opportunities to investigate fundamental physics under the broad theme of symmetries and symmetry breaking, both within the Standard Model and beyond.

It is now a great time for the community to share the recent progress in this emerging field and establish a coherent vision of the outstanding questions to be addressed in the near future in order to fully capitalize on the rapid growth in quantum computing platforms.

The workshop, taking advantage of the resumed LHC operation, as well as of the recently-concluded Snowmass22 exercise and of the Long-Range Plans for Nuclear Physics in the US and Europe, will certainly stimulate extensive discussions on the physics performance of early Run 3 data, the physics opportunities at the HL-LHC, the HL-LHC upgrade challenges and their relevance to heavy ion specific measurements, compelling physics cases at Run 5 and beyond, and foreseen synergies with other collider projects.

This workshop will bring together practitioners of these fields to strengthen existing and explore new synergies between the different approaches. For example, in the past two decades both lattice simulations and functional computations have made substantial qualitative process, but more recently also combined applications are being realized with promising prospects for the future. In addition to the theoretical efforts, several of the experiments mentioned above will be represented at the workshop to connect theoretical results with experimental measusurements.

The effective theory of the Color  Glass Condensate (CGC) has emerged as a successful tool to explain qualitatively and quantitatively semi- hard processes in preceding and current experiments at colliders like DESY, RHIC and LHC.

Quantum science and technology are playing an ever growing role in contemporary scientific developments in a wide range of areas, from physics (where they originated) to computer science and engineering. One of their specificity is the interdisciplinarity nature, which calls for researchers with a wide expertise.

This workshop will bring together experts in lattice field theory, high-order perturbation theory and strongly-coupled field theories to develop and refine existing applications of the gradient flow to QCD and beyond the standard model theories within or near the conformal window. A key goal for the workshop is to identify new opportunities to apply techniques and methods based on the gradient flow, and, in particular, pinpoint potential applications of high experimental importance in nuclear physics and beyond.

Holography is a very powerful tool that holds the promise to be able to successfully address all these issues. The workshop shall gather leading experts to discuss the status quo and foster new ideas and collaborations.

The meeting aims at bringing together the members of the Advisory Committee and leading Scientists invited to present introductory lectures and discuss in details the future directions to undertake to suitable develop the project. The Committee will include leading scientists from the Lattice community and will guarantee gender and seniority-level balance.
