Workshop "Quantum-SOPHA and Armchairs", Peyresq, 2026/06/29–07/03
This event is a one-week workshop marking the conclusion of the Quantum-SOPHA ANR project after five years of research. The workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific achievements of the consortium, with a particular focus on one-dimensional quantum many-body systems and their equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics. Beyond this retrospective perspective, the event is designed as a forum to reflect collectively on future directions, open questions, and emerging challenges in the field. To foster new ideas and collaborations, the workshop will bring together both consortium members and external researchers. Through in-depth discussions in an informal and interactive format, the workshop seeks to stimulate new scientific perspectives and lay the groundwork for future collaborative projects.
