Organized to celebrate the renewal of the Max Planck-New York Center for Non Equilibrium Quantum Phenomena, the symposium brought together scientific members of the Max Planck-New York Center and distinguished external scientists for three days of presentations and intensive discussions of recent results and new research directions focusing on the control of quantum materials and defining research directions for the next phase of the Center.
