The National MagLab hosted the Quantum Turbulence Workshop April 10 - 12, 2017, at the lab's headquarters in Tallahassee, Florida.

  • Overview

    A three-day international workshop on quantum turbulence (QT) took place at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) at Florida State University April 10-12, 2017. The purpose of the workshop is to bring a representative group of senior researchers working in or having an interest in the field of quantum turbulence together with a group of junior participants (graduate students and postdocs) to discuss recent progress in QT and to exchange ideas on future research directions. The number of participants that we can accommodate is limited, so that participation has to be by invitation. The workshop will provide an environment for more focused exchanges than normally occur at major national and international conferences. Meeting the challenges associated with QT calls for effective collaboration between experimental low-temperature physicists and experimental and theoretical experts in fluid mechanics. The QT Workshop will also serve as the platform for the development of such collaborations.

    This workshop is organized by Dr. Wei Guo (Florida State University, USA) and Dr. William F. Vinen (Birmingham University, UK). The invited talks will span a wide range of theoretical and experimental topics of interest to the QT research community. In addidtion to the invited talks there will be structured discussion sessions covering different aspects of our subject and poster presentations.
