The Asian Network School and Workshop on Complex Condensed Matter Systems 2025 (ANSW25) is a combined school and  workshop suited for graduate students in physics, postdoctoral fellows and early career researchers. The four-day school provides lectures of pedagogical nature in condensed matter physics, complex systems and statistical physics, while the one-day workshop will showcase current trends and research results in seminar type of talks. This is an external cooperative activity of the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics [APCTP-2025-E11 ], the Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems, Institute for Basic Science, and the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics [SM-25/52].

This is a hybrid event. As only selected participants can be accommodated 

on-site, the School and Workshop will be broadcast through an online platform

to registered online participants and partner institutions.

Recognizing that 2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the core topics that will be discussed in the school and workshop are: 

• complex condensed matter systems, 

• open quantum systems, 

• nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics, 

• light-matter interaction in nanostructures, theoretical photonics,

• quantum transport, topological excitations,

• strongly correlated electronic systems, 

• electronic structure near defects, interfaces & surface, 

• nonequilibrium statistical physics and soft matter,

• entanglement and dynamics in quantum matter, and

• quantum machine learning & quantum algorithms.

This activity will be the third Annual School and Workshop in a series conducted by the ICTP Asian Network on Condensed Matter, Complex Systems and Statistical Physics 2023 -- 2026.  The first was held in 2023 at IOP, VAST, Hanoi, Vietnam and  in 2024, it was held in Thailand. This cycle repeats the three-year cycle (Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines) as established by the first iteration of our Network from 2017 to 2019.
