The National High Magnetic Field Lab in Tallahassee, Florida, held its eleventh annual Theory Winter School in person from January 9 to 13, 2023.
This year's theme is electron correlations in fractional quantum Hall effects and moiré materials. The School aims to provide an introductory overview of key results and unanswered questions in both fields, theoretical and experimental, and point towards possible connections or analogies between these two correlated systems.

The tenth annual Theory Winter School virtually from January 10 to 14, 2022.
This year's theme is non-equilibrium quantum matter. We aim to communicate exciting new developments in this area of condensed matter physics to a wide audience. Many aspects of this subject (eigenstate thermalization, many-body localization, quantum scars, Floquet theory, random circuits, etc.) have become active research areas thanks to new analytic insights and computational algorithms. We will initiate dialogue among various subfields and between theory and experiment, with an eye on simulating non-equilibrium dynamics on intermediate-scale quantum computers.

Topic: Modern aspects of quantum condensed matter
The 2021 Theory Winter School was held virtually via Zoom, on 11-15 January, 2021. This year's School focus on "Modern aspects of quantum condensed matter", a subject inspired by recent developments in condensed matter physics. These developments shed new light on open questions of quantum criticality, unconventional superconductivity, and new types of topological phases of matter. The tentative topics of the school include novel phases in twisted bilayer graphene and other moire systems, recent developments in unconventional superconductivity, topology of electronic states, and quantum magnetism.

2020 Theory Winter School was held on January 6-10, 2020. This year's School focused on "Quantum Matter Without Quasiparticles", a subject inspired by recent developments in condensed matter physics and beyond. These development shed new light on open questions of quantum criticality, unconventional superconductivity, and new types of topological phases of matter. The tentative topics of the school include electron transport without quasiparticles, Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models, novel phases in twisted bilayer graphene, fracton topological phases, deconfined quantum criticality, and many-body localization.

Topic: Strongly correlated and quantum spin liquid physics, Weyl and topological physics and new computational techniques.
2019 Theory Winter School was held on January 7-11, 2019. This year's theory school was a concerted effort to address several challenges in modern condensed matter physics. Recent computational advances and new analytic insights suggest the need for multifaceted approaches that bring together the study of model Hamiltonians, ab-initio methods and experiments to gain new understanding of quantum materials. This synergy between communities will impact endeavors where theory is guiding new discoveries.

2018 Theory Winter School was held on January 8-12, 2018. The lectures focus on the synergy among several disciplines of physics, including quantum information, condensed matter, cold atoms, high energy and statistical physics. In this winter school, we bring together leading experts to give a series of lectures aimed at graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The lectures will introduce and explain concepts explored in quantum information theory, such as entanglement, and outstanding questions in many-body physics.
