Description

Martin Gutzwiller's scientific interests and contributions span a wide range of fields and topics, from quantum condensed matter theory to classical chaos and celestial mechanics. He was closely linked to the MPIPKS and gave his name to a fellowship the institute has been awarding annually since 2000. We gratefully look back to all these years and would like to honor him and his research with this workshop after he sadly passed away last year. The workshop will bring together close colleagues and researchers who have followed Martin Gutzwiller through his scientific universe. We will have the opportunity to remember him and his ideas - and we will see and discuss to which new frontiers these ideas have taken us to date.
