Overview
One of the most successful modern approaches to interacting quantum systems is through the concept of quantum information. The school will cover mainly topics in quantum information applied to condensed matter many-body physics (tensor networks, random circuits, topological excitations, quantum simulators, transport, effect of chaos and decoherence), as well as their relations to high energy physics/holography. The theoretical perspective is centered on integrability and exact solvability in a broader sense.

Location
Les Houches is a village located in Chamonix valley, in the French Alps. Established in 1951, the Physics School is situated at 1150 m above sea level in natural surroundings, with breathtaking views on the Mont-Blanc mountain range, conducive to reflection and discussion.
