The conference “Microlocal Analysis and Quantum Dynamics 2024” focused on recent developments in applications of the tools of semiclassical microlocal analysis, with a focus on quantum dynamics. Areas of applications included quantum chaos, scattering resonances and Ruelle resonances, and solid state physics. The conference aimed to bring together researchers from various mathematical communities, enabling them to share new techniques and open problems. It was preceded by a week-long summer school for graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and early-career researchers. The conference also honored the mathematics and legacy of Steve Zelditch. The summer school was held June 17-21, 2024 (MAQD Summer School Schedule) and the conferences was June 24-28, 2024 (MAQD Conference Schedule).

Code of conduct: MAQD 2024 adopts the Statement of Welcoming Environment from the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), 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 were part of Northwestern’s 2023-2024 Emphasis Year, “Asymptotics in Geometry and Analysis: the Mathematics of Steve Zelditch”.
