KEK-THEORY Workshop 2024

11 Dec 2024, 09:30 → 13 Dec 2024, 13:00 Asia/Tokyo

K03 Seminar Hall (KEK Tsukuba Campus)

KEK Theory Workshop is an annual workshop on string theory and quantum field theory. Since KEK Theory Workshop 2014, it has been held as an international workshop. Speakers are invited from abroad as well as from Japan, and all talks are given in English.

This year we aim to provide a valuable opportunity to have extensive discussions on new developments in tensor networks, quantum information and quantum computing from the viewpoint of particle physics, quantum gravity and condensed matter physics applications. The invited speakers are selected from various research fields, and we have asked them to give a pedagogical exposition of the big picture in their own research field with the right amount of technical details, which are useful in building up a comprehensive understanding of the notions and their mutual relationship.

The workshop will be ON-SITE at KEK Tsukuba Campus on December 11 (Wed.) -- 13 (Fri.), 2024, without on-line attendance. Please visit K03 Building.
