The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts and young researchers working on time crystals and periodically driven systems and to exchange knowledge and experience.
Time crystals are quantum systems which are able to reveal condensed matter behaviour but in the time domain. Research on time crystals, initiated by Frank Wilczek in 2012, is developing rapidly. There are different concepts of time crystals and there are many interesting open problems related to time crystals and to periodically driven systems in general.
The workshop will be held at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, 4-6 September 2019 in the 17th century historical Collegium Medicum building located in the city centre of Kraków. It will also be a satellite meeting of the BEC 2019 conference that will take place in Sant Feliu, Spain, 8-12 September 2019.
The number of participants is limited to 60.
