Generalized Symmetries in Quantum Matter (TP25QM)

We are excited to announce the TSVP Thematic Program "Generalized Symmetries in Quantum Matter". The program will run from May 12 to July 5, 2025.

A symposium connected to the program will be held from June 16-21, 2025.

Title: Generalized Symmetries in Quantum Matter

Theme of the program: Symmetry is the structural framework shaping modern physics. It plays a central role at all scales, from classifying different fundamental particles and forces in the universe to governing the complex collective behavior of interacting quantum systems. Recently, new types of symmetries have been discovered in several disparate fields of physics. Such symmetries are collectively called "generalized symmetries," and they are pivotal in many exotic physical phenomena. In this program, we aim to bring together researchers from those fields, including condensed matter, high energy, and quantum information, as well as pure mathematics, to address new challenges in the rapidly burgeoning field of generalized symmetries.
