The AIP runs biennial Congresses to bring the Australian Physics community together.  A new host is chosen each time, and the program committee draws heavily on input from the topical groups. The 24th Congress was scheduled for Adelaide from 6-11 December 2020, but has been postponed due to the corona virus pandemic, to 6-10 December,...

In the last decade or so quantum technologies have made tremendous progress, from redefining the second to establishing quantum supremacy. This unequalled ability to control quantum systems leads to a potential to make measurements with unprecedented accuracy. Quantum technologies have already been at play in various fronts such as the observation of gravitational waves and in searches for...

Within the next decade, quantum computing has the potential to provide insight to problems in physics and chemistry that would otherwise be intractable. Examples of such problems span from predicting molecular spectra to simulating field theories to probing the dynamics of spin models. Because large fault tolerant machines are still in the distant future, it...

While simulation of quantum problems with classical computers has revolutionized fields like chemistry, materials science, condensed matter and nuclear physics, successful implementation of quantum algorithms has the potential to yield enormous additional computational capabilities for studying complex quantum systems. Over the past several decades there has been considerable progress in the development of quantum hardware....

From Strange Metals to Topological Superconductivity A number of recent developments in the field of strongly correlated electron systems such as strange metal behaviour probed by new tools or detected in new settings, as well as new types of unconventional superconductors, including candidate topological superconductors—are creating a lot of excitement. Yet these developments have often...

The Workshop is organized in the context of the 2021 International Jacques Solvay Chair in Physics attributed to Prof. Jean Dalibard. It will put a special emphasis on out-of-equilibrium phenomena and dissipation. Principal topics include: - Quench dynamics in many-body quantum systems - Quantum trajectories and open-system dynamics - Dissipative preparation of strongly-correlated states -...

Challenges in energy consumption in computation span scales from mobile devices, through satellites and military vehicles, to data- and high-performance computing centers. We hope this workshop will facilitate cross-pollination across these technologies
