Quantum Integrability is a rich and highly cross-disciplinary subject, with fascinating mathematical structures and a wide spectrum of physical applications. It is the key tool for understanding critical properties of numerous quantum systems at and out of equilibrium, such as spin chains or the delta-function Bose gas (also known as the quantum non-linear Schrödinger equation). Long-standing problems such as the scaling limit of the Ising model in a magnetic field have been solved thanks to recent developments of integrable techniques.
These developments in theoretical physics have been paralleled by advances in several areas of pure and applied mathematics, enhancing interactions among researchers working on combinatorics, probability theory, infinite dimensional Lie algebras, knots and braids, soliton systems, random matrices, non-linear differential equations and computational science.
A new arena for quantum integrable systems has recently arisen as a result of the ability to realize for the first time, stable and controllable isolated quantum systems (by means of cold atom experimental set-ups). This has led to an immense growth of this research area and has given access to a largely unexplored territory of out-equilibrium quantum dynamics.
These exciting advances call for the development of new mathematical techniques to meet the challenge of describing out-of-equilibrium phenomena in strongly interacting lowdimensional quantum systems.
In gathering together a core group of outstanding scientists, we aim to make substantial progress on a series of key open problems. Topics will include
In the first week of the programme there will be a conference, that will gather together leading physicists and mathematicians in the area of Quantum Integrability. In each of the following weeks there will be two introductory 60 minute lectures by world-leading experts. The topics of the lectures will be chosen to mesh with Focus Week Activities planned to involve the participants on key themes of the programme. During the Focus Weeks there will also be a certain number of round table discussions that will help in exploiting new scientific directions and shaping the future research on this emerging field.
The Institute kindly requests that any papers published as a result of this programme’s activities are credited as such. Please acknowledge the support of the Institute in your paper using the following text:

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
