On September 10-11, 2019, the CMSA hosted a second workshop on Topological Aspects of Condensed Matter. New ideas rooted in topology have recently had a major impact on condensed matter physics, and have led to new connections with high energy physics, mathematics and quantum information theory. The aim of this program will be to deepen these […]
On October 16-18, 2019 the CMSA hosted a workshop on Noncommutative Analysis, Computational Complexity, and Quantum Information. This workshop focuses on linking three different rapidly developing areas: noncommutative real algebraic geometry (RAG), theory of computation and quantum information theory. This mix of overlapping but independently developing topics should lead to a stimulating flow of tools and important […]
