This conference aims to bring together mathematical physicists, theoretical physicists, and experimentalists interested in the effects of quasiperiodicity and fractality in quantum physics. Recent progress in controlling quasiperiodic systems in ultracold atom setups has been significant. The discovery of moiré materials and their realization in graphene-like structures and other compounds have renewed interest in quasiperiodicity across all areas represented in this workshop: mathematical, theoretical, and experimental. Furthermore, interest in the topological properties of quasiperiodic systems is rapidly increasing, from moiré materials to quasicrystals.
This conference follows up on a meeting held in 2019 at Rutgers University, which fostered valuable insights and collaborations. We aim to reunite the mathematical, theoretical, and experimental communities to advance the next frontier of research.
The conference will take place at SISSA, Trieste, on September 7-10 2026.
Registration is free but mandatory; please see the link below. We also accept applications for poster presentations through the registration form.
