Early Career and Student Support for "Mathematical Physics at the Crossings" Conference

该奖项将为参加将于2019年5月20-24日在弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡的弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学(弗吉尼亚理工大学)举行的会议《十字路口的数学物理学》的美国与会者提供资金支持。这次会议的重点是多体量子系统的最新发展。这些系统对实现量子飞跃倡议的目标具有很高的相关性。这次会议将为发展多体量子系统的数学知识的进程增添动力，可能会促进为医疗、导航、计算或其他实用目的建造量子设备。这一奖项将为美国学生、职业早期研究人员、代表性不足的群体成员以及没有其他支持来源的研究人员提供参加会议的机会。有关这次会议的信息可以在http://www.math.vt.edu/HagedornFest/index.html上找到。“十字路口的数学物理”国际会议将聚集数学物理、量子信息和物理学的研究人员，讨论目前关于多体量子系统的研究主题。所涵盖的主题包括绝热近似，重点是多体量子系统、多体局部化问题、分子动力学和周期驱动的量子系统。相互作用的多体量子系统的性质研究是当今凝聚态物理的核心问题之一，但对这一问题的现有数学知识很少。这一主题也引起了从事量子信息和量子计算领域的学者的极大兴趣。这次会议将汇集该领域的专家，并将使研究生和博士后研究人员接触到该领域的最新研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will provide financial support for US participants in the conference "Mathematical Physics at the Crossings" to be held at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), Blacksburg, VA, May 20-24, 2019. The conference focuses on recent developments in many-body quantum systems. These systems are of high relevance for the realization of the goals of the Quantum Leap initiative. The meeting will add momentum to the process of developing mathematical knowledge about the many-body quantum systems, potentially facilitating building quantum devices for medical, navigational, computational or other practical purposes. This award will give US-based students, early-career researchers, members of underrepresented groups, and researchers without other sources of support an opportunity to attend and participate in the conference. Information about the conference can be found at: http://www.math.vt.edu/HagedornFest/index.html The international conference "Mathematical Physics at the Crossings" will gather researchers in mathematical physics, quantum information, and physics to discuss topics of current research regarding many-body quantum systems. The topics covered include adiabatic approximation with a focus on many-body quantum systems, many-body localization problems, molecular dynamics, and periodically driven quantum systems. Study of properties of interacting many-body quantum systems is one of the central problems in today condensed matter physics, and the available mathematical knowledge about this problem is minimal. The topic is also of significant interest for scholars working in areas of quantum information and quantum computation. This conference will bring together experts in the field and will expose graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to the latest research in this area.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
