A Winter Workshop
on Topological Order

SECOND WEEK'S PROGRAM

The two lectures will take place in the morning from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and consist of five one-hour sessions. The lectures will cover the following topics:

• Laurens Lootens (University of Cambridge)
• The categorical description of generalized symmetries and dualities on the lattice.
• Ruben Verresen (Harvard University)
• Experimental realizations.

After the lunch break, a series of invited and contributed talks will take place from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The speakers and potential topics are as follows (in chronological order):

• Thorsten Wahl (University of Cambridge)
• Classifying Topological Many-Body Localized Phases. (slides)
• Angelo Lucia (Complutense University of Madrid)
• Thermalization of topological order. (slides)
• Alex Bols (ETH Zurich)
• Anyon sectors of Kitaev's quantum double model.
• David Gunn (University of Innsbruck)
• Phases of Matter under Symmetric Circuits and Symmetric Measurements.
• Rui-Zheng Huang (Ghent University)
• Emergent conformal boundaries from finite-entanglement scaling in matrix product states.
• Georgios Styliaris (Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics)
• MPS with measurement-assisted quantum circuits: Transformations and phases of matter. (slides)
• Mingru Yang (Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics)
• Detecting emergent symmetries at quantum criticality.
• Shayan Zahedi (Institute for Theoretical Physics - University of Cologne)
• The Topological Classification of Time Reversal Symmetric Frustrated Systems and Metamaterials. (slides)

Venue

Tübingen is an enchanting city located in the southwest of Germany, well-known for its rich history and as the home of one of the oldest universities in Europe. It was founded in the 12th century and features a charming old town filled with medieval buildings, cobblestone streets and lovely squares.

The workshop will take place at the Room N14 of the Faculty of Mathematics (C-Bau) (Maps) at the Morgenstelle Campus, situated in the northwest of the city. It can be conveniently reached from the city center using public transportation. The campus offers numerous opportunities, including access to modern facilities for discussions and the nearby Mensa Canteen (Maps).

How to arrive

If you plan to travel by air, the nearest airport to Tübingen is Stuttgart Airport (STR). Upon arrival, you can conveniently reach the city center of Tübingen by boarding buses X82 or 828 (Maps), which provide direct transportation.

When traveling by train, Tübingen offers its own train station called Tübingen Hauptbahnhof (Maps). Situated in the heart of the city, this station provides convenient connections to various cities in Germany and Europe.

Once you are in the city, it should not be difficult to find a direct bus route from your accomodation to the Faculty of Mathematics via the bus stop BG Unfallklinik (Maps) or Auf der Morgenstelle (Maps). In general, buses 5, 13, X15, 18 and 19 should work. You can also look for a route from your location using e.g. Google Maps or the official app Naldo (website, iOS, Android), or find the timetables here.

However, if you are finding it difficult, feel free to contact us by email and we will find the best route to and from your hotel to the faculty.
