Workshop - Quantum chaos II in Kraków

A workshop took place in Kraków on 23-25 October 2025 in Polish Academy of Science (PAN), ul. św. Jana 28. It was dedicated to the latest research in the field of quantum chaos. The event brought together distinguished scientists from around the world who shared their findings and insights into this rapidly evolving area of physics. The workshop covered a wide range of topics related to quantum chaos, including its impact on quantum transport, information scrambling, and the application of mathematical tools such as random matrices and topological recursion. The talks also addressed experimental methods for verifying quantum chaos, as well as its applications in quantum information theory and many-body systems. The event provided a great opportunity for participants to exchange experiences and discuss the current challenges in this fascinating area of physics.

The workshop programme is available here. Further details and workshop content can be found here.
