This conference will bring experts from different disciplines of physics and foster an active and productive interaction and discussion on various open questions regarding strongly correlated gapless quantum many-body systems. This conference hopes to improve our understanding on the following directions:
- To resolve the current discrepancy on deconfined quantum critical point and quantum spin liquids from the perspective of numerical simulation, conformal bootstrap, and theoretical efforts.
- New approaches for understanding compressible quantum liquids such as non-Fermi liquids.
- Gapless quantum states involving generalized symmetries such as higher form symmetries.
- Anomalies of symmetries and emergent symmetries of gapless states.
- Duality and its implications on quantum critical points.
- Recent experimental progress of strongly correlated gapless states, and their theoretical understanding.
- SYK physics and its application on real physical systems.
The concentrated schedule of the conference will enable participation of condensed matter experimentalists and create a platform for productive exchanges with theorists.
