International Workshop on "Challenges in Integrability"

09 - 21 November 2025
Wuhan, China

Welcome from
the chair

Theme of the Workshop

Over the past two decades, the study of integrability and exactly-solved models has advanced rapidly across diverse frontiers. In high energy physics, the discovery of integrable structures in higher-dimensional gauge theories and string theory has yielded powerful non-perturbative methods for exact computations in supersymmetric gauge theories. These advances have not only revealed profound underlying beautiful structures but also enabled unprecedented precision tests of gauge/gravity duality.

In condensed matter physics, novel theoretical frameworks such as the quench action method and generalized hydrodynamics have deepened our understanding of non-equilibrium systems, while providing quantitative tools to uncover the rich transport properties inherent to integrable models. A key catalyst for these developments has been the growing experimental realization of exactly-solvable models on cutting-edge quantum platforms, including ultracold atoms, trapped ions, quantum circuits, and Rydberg atom arrays. Such systems offer unparalleled control for engineering integrable models and have unlocked new frontiers in quantum information, quantum computation, and quantum metrology. Collectively, research in these areas enhances our grasp of novel quantum phase transitions, quantum correlations, and many-body phenomena—both in and out of equilibrium—paving the way for transformative insights into fundamental and applied quantum science.

This is an exciting and dynamic time for the field of integrability, marked by both remarkable opportunities and pressing challenges. This international workshop seeks to highlight recent theoretical and experimental progress across these interconnected areas, bringing together leading experts from high-energy physics, condensed matter physics, and atomic/molecular physics. The two-week program will combine lectures, seminars, and open discussions, with a focus on advancing our collective understanding of integrable systems, promoting interdisciplinary communication, and encouraging new collaborations across research fields. By fostering dialogue among physicists with diverse expertise, the event aims to bridge gaps between theory and experiment, address open questions, and inspire innovative ideas that push the boundaries of integrability in modern physics.
