Quantum many-body effects underlie exotic properties of quantum matter, such as unconventional superconductivity, topological order, quantum magnetism. Recent advances in measurement and control techniques give microscopic access to these effects, and allow for unprecedented tools to study quantum correlations and fluctuations across a broad range of systems, via the quantum-gas microscope, STM-ESR, the quantum twisting microscope, or reconfigurable lattices. These tools can be used to test theoretical concepts to characterize correlated matter, such as entanglement witnesses, entropies, non-local order parameters, or spatial and temporal correlation functions. This workshop brings together experts working with different quantum, including ultracold atoms, Rydberg arrays, van der Waals heterostructures, and atoms/spins on surfaces - as well as theorists developing methods to describe quantum many-body effects. This will set the stage for potentially fruitful exchange between the researchers of different backgrounds and perspectives, but with a shared interest in microscopic mechanisms behind exotic phases of matter. This exchange will explore the potential of state-of-the-art methods to create, probe, and manipulate quantum correlations beyond mean-field approaches.
