Recent years have seen significant advancements in our understanding of strongly correlated quantum materials, characterized by extensive many-body entanglement. These developments have been propelled by discoveries of new materials and breakthroughs in experimental techniques.
However, despite simultaneous improvements in the theoretical understanding of ground state properties and their classification, our grasp of experimentally accessible response functions remains incomplete. Advancing our theoretical descriptions of the dynamics of collective excitations is crucial for diagnozing and characterizing new quantum states of matter.
This workshop aims to bridge this gap by fostering theoretical and experimental collaborations to deepen our understanding of quantum materials, with a particular focus on spin-orbit coupled quantum phases of matter.
