Welcome to the Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT)
October 27 - November 7, 2025
The QCD Critical Point: Are We There Yet? (25-3a)
H. Caines, V. Skokov, A. Sorensen
Among past, current, and planned heavy-ion collision experiments, the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is uniquely poised to enable a breakthrough discovery: uncovering the existence and location of the QCD critical point (CP) in the phase diagram of strongly-interacting matter.

Open Quantum Systems: Dissipative Dynamics from Quarks to the Cosmos (25-3b)
Y. Akamatsu, G. Barenboim, N. Brambilla, T. Magorsch, X. Yao
The formalism of open quantum systems (OQS) describes the behavior of a quantum system that is in contact with an environment. Such systems are ubiquitous in nature, and the methods used to treat them can be used to describe the real-time evolution of strongly coupled systems.
INTURN
Institute for Nuclear Theory Undergraduate Research Network
The Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT) at the University of Washington (UW) offers opportunities for undergraduate research in nuclear physics. This INT Undergraduate Research Network (INTURN) program hosts undergraduate students interested in pursuing research in nuclear theory and taking steps toward a career in physics.
