Quantum Chaotic Many Body Dynamics 2026

Location change on 23/6/2026:

Because of the extreme heat that is coming later today, we are trying very hard to change to venue with better air flow. For today, we have decided to change the location to "L3", a large lecture theatre that is somewhat tucked away, in Science Block E. The building is at the purple dot below on the 3rd floor. Wednesday location will remain the same. We are still looking for solutions for Thursday and Friday.
