Quantum field theory is not only the unifying language of fundamental forces, but also an extremely rich source of surprising non-perturbative dualities. This success in predicting unexpected new links among seemingly distant subjects has accelerated on many fronts over the past few years, thanks to applications of modern developments in “quantum” mathematics to quantum field theories with supersymmetric, integrable, conformal, topological, or holomorphic structures. The insights emerging from these developments have been the source of important novel results across various branches of theoretical physics and mathematics, hinting at further new connections awaiting discovery. The common ground to all these recent developments is the richness of the physics and mathematics underlying the dynamics of protected (BPS) sectors, whose study ties together fundamental questions in diverse fields in original ways. This workshop aims to highlight and discuss the impact of key developments, to forge new synergies, and to grasp together the hints of far-reaching new opportunities.

The exquisite control of the quantum states and of the interactions in ultracold atomic systems is offering new opportunities for quantum simulation of complex quantum systems. These simulations provide a unique platform for scientists to recreate and delve into complex quantum phenomena, often beyond the computational reach of classical computers, with impacts on both fundamental research and potential technological applications. This seminar will bring together the German and Italian communities active in this rapidly evolving field, providing a unique environment to exchange ideas and create new collaborations.

The topics will include new phases of matter, complex quantum systems in and out of equilibrium, quantum computing applications, new tunability and control methods.
