QLUSTER Newsletter 1 - January 2024
Ultrasoft interactions lead to the observed complexity and analogies in the dynamics, structure, and response to external drives of very different entities such as complex polymers, soft colloids, Rydberg atoms in optical lattices, or vortex matter in superconductors. Despite similarities in phenomena and methods, an effort to bring distinct communities in classical and quantum soft matter together has not been yet undertaken. QLUSTER aims at advancing fundamentals beyond the state of the art, creating permanent ties between such communities. In this newsletter we give you an overview of activities and scientific output of our first year.
