This program aims to bring together people working on classical and quantum systems with disorder and interactions. The extensive exploration, through experiments, simulations and model calculations, of growing correlation lengths associated with the rapid increases of viscosity and relaxation times in classical systems is a major recent development in the study of the glass transition. At the same time, there have also been significant advances, recently, in the effort to combine density functional theory with dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) to understand the properties of quantum many-body systems. These involve treating interactions using quantum impurity models, thereby connecting directly to the physics of disordered systems. Another interesting recent direction of investigation is understanding how the interplay of interactions and disorder in quantum many-body systems can lead to ergodic and non-ergodic phases and transitions between them. The common themes of disorder an...

This Summer Program on Dynamics of Complex Systems is second in the series. The theme for the program this year is Mathematical Biology. Over the past decades, the focus of many of those working in nonlinear science, in India as well as internationally, has increasingly shifted towards problems in biology. The emergence of network science, of systems biology, of computational neuroscience, and of physical biology as vibrant areas of research have greatly contributed to this. The purpose of this summer program is to nucleate collaborative interdisciplinary activities, and to bring together researchers located in diverse institutions, especially in India, to a common forum, to discuss problems of interest and to address contemporary issues in computational systems biology and modeling.The program has two major parts: a two-week long Summer School on mathematical biology from 10 to 25 May, 2017 and a two-week long Workshop on Physical and Systems Biology (WPSB) from 12 to 25 June, 2017. T...
