Workshop: Methods for Static and Dynamic Properties of Correlated Quantum Matter

This is a two-day workshop focussing on analytical and numerical techniques for modelling strongly correlated systems, including effective low-energy theories, diagrammatic and variational Monte Carlo, semiclassical and coupled-cluster expansions, bosonic and fermionic parton mean-field theories, finite-T Lanczos, typicality, tensor and neural network quantum states.
