Simulation of far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics (SimQuDyn)

Simulation of far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics (SimQuDyn) is a conference bringing together researchers and students in the fields of classical and quantum simulation of far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics, as well as analytical approaches to the latter. The goal of this conference is the discussion and exchange of ideas related to the latest advances in these fields and to chart a path forward that includes collaborative efforts between them. A main point of discussion will be using far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics as a venue to achieve practical quantum advantage.
