Fluctuations, Quenched Disorder, and Strong Correlations

International Focus Workshop
22 - 24 June 2026

This Focus Workshop brings together experts sharing a common interest pertaining to the interplay between strong correlations, disorder, and topology, in various systems straddling different cutting-edge domains of research. The workshop provides a platform to discuss their ideas, recent discoveries, and new methods. Systems of interest range from Moiré heterostructures, iron-based superconductors, frustrated magnets, and many-body localized systems, common to the hard condensed-matter community, to epidemics, population growth, and biological oscillators, common to the communities of soft condensed matter and statistical mechanics.

Topics include

  • Quantum, dynamical, and non-equilibrium phase transitions
  • Quenched disorder and Griffiths singularities
  • Topological phases of matter
  • Many-body dynamics and localization
  • Frustrated magnetism
  • Altermagnetism
  • Unconventional superconductivity
