Lectures & Seminars

This school will be organized in a relatively short set of long lectures supplemented by more specialized lectures and seminars, presentations by participants, and a poster session. The lectures will introduce the theoretical background focusing on computational and methodological aspects of the research, and the lecturers will also propose hands-on exercises and practical work on laptop, most likely using Python notebooks or similar. Students are invited to practice during the afternoons.

A poster session open to all participants will also be organized.  

Main lecture topics will cover:

• Thermalization in closed, disordered systems
• Open, driven-dissipative systems
• Matrix-Product states methods : DMRG/TEBD/PEPS
• Quantum Monte Carlo methods in and out-of equilibrium
• Exact Diagonalization and exact numerical methods
• Machine learning

Specialized topics will cover: many-body localization, quench dynamics, quantum computation, cold-atoms, photonic systems etc.
