Wave PI, Marcel Filoche from École Polytechnique will give a live-streamed lecture entitled "The landscape of wave localization in complex or disordered systems."

The 2021 Simons Collaboration on Localization of Waves Annual Meeting will bring together world leading mathematicians and physicists whose work illuminates profound connections between disorder, geometric complexity, and the behavior of waves. The meeting will highlight how recent advances in mathematics yield important applications in physics involving wave localization.

Wave PI, Douglas Arnold, Ph.D., Professor of Mathematics, School of Mathematics, University of Minnesota will present a lecture entitled "The Third Pillar Of Science" as part of the Simons Foundation Lectures (free public colloquia related to basic science and mathematics). 

While Anderson localization is more than 60 years old, it is still an active subject both in theory and experiments. In this school, we intend to review both the usual theory of Anderson localization as well as the novel landscape theory. Experimentally, we will focus on clean systems enabling accurate measurements with a specific emphasis on the ultracold atom experiments. The goal is to foster knowledge in order to tackle the open problems in the field. 

These meetings have been arrangesd to educate the broad audience of participants interested in exploring profound connections between disorder, geometric complexity, the behavior of waves, and recent advances in mathematical analysis for important applications in physics involving wave localization.

The Simon's Collaboration on Localization of Waves meets for a day of speakers research reports. The group will convene in the main meeting room, discuss topics, and assign participants to breakout rooms.

The 2020 Simons Collaboration on Localization of Waves Annual Meeting will bring together world leading mathematicians and physicists whose work illuminates profound connections between disorder, geometric complexity, and the behavior of waves. The meeting will introduce the greater Simons Community to the Filoche-Mayboroda ‘Landscape Law’ and spark exciting and fruitful conversations across multiple disciplines.

Alain Aspect will present a speech entitled "From Einstein's Doubts to Quantum Technologies: A New Quantum Revolution" as part of the Simons Foundation Lectures, free public colloquia related to basic science and mathematics.
