Factorization algebras are a new mathematical approach to quantum field theory. They are related to functorial field theories, another approach to quantum field theory. Factorization algebras also figure in current research ...

Quantum information theory seeks to understand the fundamental limits set by quantum mechanics for information processing tasks. The mathematical aspects of quantum information rely on tools from various fields including ...

Currently, in the interaction between string theory, quantum field theory and topology, there is an increased use of category-theoretic methods. Independent developments (e.g. the categorificiation of knot invariants, ...

This workshop brought together researchers interested in eigenvalue problems for Laplace and Schr¨dinger operators. The main topics o of discussions and investigations covered Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalue problems, ...

In the last years, substantial progress has been made in many areas of mathematical physics. The goal of this workshop was to bring together researchers working on analytic and probabilistic aspects of many-body quantum ...

The field of quantum chemistry is concerned with the modelling and simulation of the behaviour of molecular systems on the basis of the fundamental equations of quantum mechanics. Since these equations exhibit an extreme ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) may be considered one of the most fundamental frameworks of theoretical physics. Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is the part of QFT that describes the interaction between matter and light. Although ...

Let $W$ be a polynomial or power series in several variables, or, more generally, a nonzero element in some regular commutative ring. A matrix factorization of $W$ consists of a pair of square matrices $X$ and $Y$ of the ...

In many situations, most prominently in quantum mechanics, it is important to understand well the eigenvalues and associated eigenfunctions of certain self-adjoint differential operators. The goal of this workshop was ...
