About the workshop

Real quantum systems are never perfectly isolated: interactions with their environment profoundly reshape how chaos emerges, spreads, and decays. This workshop explores dissipative quantum chaos along three intertwined threads.

The first concerns its fundamental characterization, from non-Hermitian random matrix theory and Lindbladian spectra to insights from holography and strongly interacting models. The second addresses many-body dynamics, asking how driven-dissipative systems thermalize, scramble information, or resist chaos altogether.

The third connects theory to experiment, with platforms such as quantum fluids of light and complex photonic media where dissipation is not merely a nuisance but a resource. By bringing these perspectives together, DiQuaC2026 aims to chart a unified picture of chaos in open quantum systems.
