Nontechnical abstract: After decades of intensive research, our predictive power in systems with correlated electrons is still very small. The problem of correlated electrons is recognized as painful, because our ability to model strongly correlated systems is needed to design new materials such as superconductors. This workshop is devoted to enabling structured discussion between the founders of the field (speakers) and early career researchers (participants). Brainstorming between the participants in order to identify what did not work so far is expected to lead to specific novel ideas, helpful in solving the problem of electron correlations. Technical abstract: The model of non-interacting electrons is well established throughout many areas of solid-state physics. However there are material systems whose properties emerge from strong interactions. Such strongly correlated systems host a tremendous variety of fascinating macroscopic phenomena including high-temperature superconductivity, metal-insulator transitions, fractionalized topological phases, and strange metal phases. Despite many years of intensive work, the essential physics of many of these systems is still not understood, and we do not have a unified perspective on strong electron correlations. This workshop will mix — in a unique format — early career researchers and a number of distinguished senior scientists with the aim of making progress on the correlated electron problem. On Day 1, six senior scientists with broad perspectives on the correlated electron physics will give a series of lectures to approximately 45 early career scientists. These senior scientists will present what they consider to be the important aspects of the correlated electron problem and what they consider to be possible ways forward. On the morning of Day 2, the senior people will depart. Then during the day of Day 2 the early career scientists will have a number of roundtable discussions, working groups, and brainstorming sessions on this physics and clarifying their thoughts on how to make progress. These thoughts will have been informed by the lectures of Day 1. On Day 3 the early career scientists will write up a report summarizing the outcome of the discussions. Report will be publicly available.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.

非技术摘要：经过几十年的深入研究，我们对相关电子系统的预测能力仍然很小。关联电子的问题被认为是痛苦的，因为我们需要建立强关联系统的模型来设计新材料，如超导体。该研讨会致力于使该领域的创始人（演讲者）和早期职业研究人员（参与者）之间进行结构化讨论。参与者之间的头脑风暴，以确定什么没有工作到目前为止，预计将导致具体的新颖的想法，有助于解决电子相关性的问题。技术摘要：非相互作用电子的模型在固态物理的许多领域都得到了很好的建立。 然而，有一些物质系统的性质来自强相互作用。这样的强关联系统拥有各种各样迷人的宏观现象，包括高温超导性，金属-绝缘体转变，分形拓扑相和奇怪的金属相。 尽管经过多年的深入研究，许多系统的基本物理仍然没有被理解，我们对强电子相关性没有统一的观点。这个研讨会将混合-在一个独特的格式-早期的职业研究人员和一些杰出的资深科学家，以取得进展的相关电子问题的目的。在第一天，六位对相关电子物理学有广泛见解的资深科学家将为大约45位早期职业科学家提供一系列讲座。 这些资深科学家将介绍他们认为相关电子问题的重要方面以及他们认为可能的前进方向。 第二天早上，老人们将离开。 然后，在第2天的一天，早期的职业科学家将有一些圆桌讨论，工作组和头脑风暴会议，关于这个物理学，并澄清他们对如何取得进展的想法。 这些想法将在第一天的讲座中得到启发。 在第三天，早期的职业科学家将撰写一份报告，总结讨论的结果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
