The conference “Microlocal Analysis and Quantum Dynamics 2024” will focus on recent developments in applications of the tools of semiclassical microlocal analysis, with a focus on quantum dynamics. Areas of applications include quantum chaos, scattering resonances and Ruelle resonances, and solid state physics. The conference aims to bring together researchers from various mathematical communities, enabling them to share new techniques and open problems. It will be preceded by a week-long summer school for graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and early-career researchers. The conference will also honor the mathematics and legacy of Steve Zelditch.

Dates

• June 17-21, 2024 (Summer School); June 24-28, 2024 (Conference)

Location

• Northwestern University’s Evanston campus
• Most events in the summer school will be held in room Tech LR4, in the Technological Institute. See the Summer School Schedule for more details.
• All conference talks will be held in the Abbott Laboratories Auditorium in Pancoe Pavilion.

See the Travel Information page for information about traveling to Evanston, as well as parking and housing/hotel information. In addition, see here for health and safety tips while in the area.

Summer School

The summer school introduces the core concepts in semiclassical microlocal analysis as well as a variety of applications to quantum and classical dynamics. The summer school aims to prepare graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and early-career researchers for the subsequent conference, Microlocal Analysis and Quantum Dynamics 2024.

The minicourse topics and speakers are below:

Speaker	Topic
Tanya Christiansen	Semiclassical analysis
Clotilde Fermanian-Kammerer	Microlocal methods in solid state physics
Hamid Hezari	Spectral geometry
Luc Hillairet	Analysis on singular spaces
Thibault Lefeuvre	Microlocal methods in dynamics

Code of conduct: MAQD 2024 adopts the Statement of Welcoming Environment from the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), copied below adapted for MAQD activities:

All participants in the MAQD activities will enjoy a welcoming, inclusive environment that is free from all forms of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. In pursuit of fostering an atmosphere that encourages the free expression and exchange of scientific ideas, MAQD is committed to the promotion of equality of opportunity and treatment for all participants, regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion or religious belief, age, marital status, sexual orientation, immigration status, disabilities, veteran status, or any other reason not related to scientific merit. Harassment, sexual or otherwise, is a form of misconduct that undermines the integrity of the MAQD activities.

MAQD 2024 is supported by the RTG “Dynamics: Classical, Modern, and Quantum”. The events are part of Northwestern’s 2023-2024 Emphasis Year, “Asymptotics in Geometry and Analysis: the Mathematics of Steve Zelditch”.
