This is the first in a sequence of meetings designed to bring together string theorists working in the Bangalore area. The meeting will have a set of short talks, which are designed to rapidly communicate the recent research interests of the speakers. The meeting will also feature a brief selection of interdisciplinary talks from other areas, and some longer talks from invited visitors.

Condensed matter systems display a wide variety of interesting low temperature phases that are the product of the interplay between inter-particle interactions and the quantum statistics obeyed by the particles. The last few years have seen many exciting developments in this field ighlighting the role of quantum entanglement. The aim of the discussion meeting is to understand these developments and their applications to physical systems by bringing together theorists and experimentalists working in the field of quantum condensed matter physics. The list of topics that will be covered includes thermalization, many-body localization, hidden order, magnetic frustration and symmetry protected and enhanced topological order.

In the last few years, quantum entanglement considerations have led to profound insights in the connection with gravity. Entanglement entropy has been proposed as a probe to study the architecture of spacetime in quantum gravity. Connections with the Bekenstein-Hawking area law applicable to black holes have been found. This area law behaviour finds support from various approaches to quantum gravity. This program will focus on the lessons that various aspects of quantum entanglement have taught us about holography as well as what the holographic approach via the AdS/CFT correspondence has meant for entanglement.

Studies in light-matter interactions constitute a core area of research in atomic, molecular and optical sciences encompassing a wide range of highly interdisciplinary fields. At a fundamental level, quantum electrodynamical interactions of single atoms or ions with single-photons or even electromagnetic vacuum has led to new avenues of understanding light-matter interactions (for which 2012 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland). In a similar vein, atomic, ionic or molecular interactions of light carrying spatial singularity or orbital angular momentum are leading to new insights. In parallel to these developments, recent progress in light-matter interactions in diverse physical situations such as plasmonics, quantum dots, nanophotonics, cold atoms, molecules and matter waves has given an impetus to several fields leading to new physics, applications and devices.In view of these current advances, this program is planned with two main objectives: Fir...

This is a joint program of ICTS with the Indian Institute for Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune and Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), Canada. It aims to bring together leading mathematical biology researchers from the PIMS together with Indian scientists to deliver a series of pedagogical lectures on contemporary topics of interest. This program will explore three themes in particular:Ecology, Epidemiology and Immunology. These lectures will explore mathematical modeling in Ecology (Mark Lewis), Immunology with reference to viral infections (Narendra Dixit and Daniel Coombs) and Epidemiology with an extension to Cholera models (Pauline van den Driessche). Statistical inference in biological systems. The methods of statistical inference, specialized to the study of biological problems, will be described. Essential and important techniques will be discussed in detail, with the context drawn from real-world ecological problems (Subhash Lele). A second set...
