Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce our workshop “Reduced Density-Matrix Functional Theory: Improving its foundation and extending its scope”, to be held in the Trento (Italy) during Oct 3-14 2022:

https://indico.ectstar.eu/event/153/

The aim of this international workshop is to discuss and explore new aspects and challenges in Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory (RDMFT). For this, we have invited up to 25 experts in Reduced Density-Matrix Functional Theory to Trento for an intensive and informal meeting. This is an in-person workshop that will be complemented by five mini-symposia (hybrid format), open to a broad international audience:

Symposium 1 - October 3, 14:30-18:00 CEST

Exact results in RDMFT: properties of universal functionals, role of N-representability, ...

Symposium 2 - October 5, 9:30-13:00 CEST

RDMFT for quantum chemistry: Computational and theoretical state-of-the-art and open challenges

Symposium 3 - October 7, 9:30-13:00 CEST

Extending the scope of RDMFT: bosons, ultracold gases, superconductors, relativistic QM, polarons, ...

Symposium 4 - October 10, 9:30-13:00 CEST

RDMFT for excited states and time-evolution

Symposium 5 - October 12, 9:30-13:00 CEST

RDMFT for translational invariant systems

Applications and abstract submissions to any of these symposia are now welcomed (deadline 18th September): https://indico.ectstar.eu/event/153/

There is no registration fee. 

We are looking forward to meeting you in-person in Trento or vitually,

Carlos L. Benavides-Riveros, Eberhard K. U. Gross, Christian Schilling
