Scientific discussion meeting organised by Professor Sir Michael Pepper FREng FRS, Dr Arijeet Pal, Dr Zlatko Papic, Dr Ulrich Schneider and Professor Steven Simon
Ergodic systems lie at the heart of statistical physics since they reach thermal equilibrium and 'forget' their initial conditions, thereby allowing for coarse-grained classical descriptions. Recently, non-ergodic quantum many-body systems, which fail to thermalise and decohere completely, came into focus. This interdisciplinary meeting will address their fundamental challenges and experimental realisations, including many-body localisation and other novel, non-classical long-time behaviour.
A draft programme, and biographies of the organisers and speakers is available below. Speaker abstracts will be available closer to the meeting date. Recorded audio of the talks will be available on this page after the event has taken place.

The Conference will bring together leaders and decision-makers within the science and human exploration community – engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, educators, agency representatives and policy makers. The leaders in the field will converge in Beijing to discuss recent results, current challenges and innovative solutions and it will contain several opportunities to learn about how space exploration investments provide benefits as well as discuss how those benefits can be increased through thoughtful planning and cooperation. The Chinese Society of Astronautics (CSA) is a close member of the Federation since 1980, the host organisation of two outstanding International Astronautical Congresses (IAC 1996 and IAC 2013), the host organization of the successful 2010 Global Lunar Conference (GLUC) and an IAF Alliance Partner. CSA and IAF are both committed to supporting the international relationships that enable exploration of outer space and are very enthusiastic to organise GLEX 2017.
