Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the opening of abstract submission to the 23rd International Conference on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories, “RPMBT-23”, to be held in Milan (Italy), September 14-18, 2026. URL: https://rpmbt23.mi.infn.it.
The RPMBT conference series (https://rpmbt.physics.indiana.edu) is intended to cover in a broad fashion the theoretical tools developed to tackle the quantum many-body problem together with their major fields of application. One of the main aims of the series is to foster the exchange of ideas and techniques among scientists working in the diverse areas of many-body physics.
The RPBMT-23 will present the Feenberg Medal Award, for firmly established work that has significantly advanced the field of many-body physics, and the Hermann Kümmel Early Achievement Award, to encourage and reward excellence in the field of quantum many-body theory for researchers within a period of 6 years form their PhD. Information for nominating outstanding candidates is available at https://rpmbt.physics.indiana.edu.
The RPMBT-23 will be preceded by a 3-day School on Quantum Simulation, on Sept. 9-11, 2026, also open to students (Master, PhD and postdoc) attending the conference. This engaging event will offer a unique opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of quantum simulation of many-body systems using virtual and real quantum hardware.
Detailed information about registration fees and payment methods will be provided later. Travel information are available on the website of the meeting, https://rpmbt23.mi.infn.it, and will be updated periodically.
The topic of the scientific program will include
Quantum Fluids
Condensed Matter Physics
Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics
Quantum Field Theory
Astrophysics
Atomic and Molecular Physics
Quantum Chemistry
Complex Systems
Strongly Correlated Electronic Systems
