Nontechnical abstract: After decades of intensive research, our predictive power in systems with correlated electrons is still very small. The problem of correlated electrons is recognized as painful, because our ability to model strongly correlated systems is needed to design new materials such as superconductors. This workshop is devoted to enabling structured discussion between the founders of the field (speakers) and early career researchers (participants). Brainstorming between the participants in order to identify what did not work so far is expected to lead to specific novel ideas, helpful in solving the problem of electron correlations. Technical abstract: The model of non-interacting electrons is well established throughout many areas of solid-state physics. However there are material systems whose properties emerge from strong interactions. Such strongly correlated systems host a tremendous variety of fascinating macroscopic phenomena including high-temperature superconductivity, metal-insulator transitions, fractionalized topological phases, and strange metal phases. Despite many years of intensive work, the essential physics of many of these systems is still not understood, and we do not have a unified perspective on strong electron correlations. This workshop will mix — in a unique format — early career researchers and a number of distinguished senior scientists with the aim of making progress on the correlated electron problem. On Day 1, six senior scientists with broad perspectives on the correlated electron physics will give a series of lectures to approximately 45 early career scientists. These senior scientists will present what they consider to be the important aspects of the correlated electron problem and what they consider to be possible ways forward. On the morning of Day 2, the senior people will depart. Then during the day of Day 2 the early career scientists will have a number of roundtable discussions, working groups, and brainstorming sessions on this physics and clarifying their thoughts on how to make progress. These thoughts will have been informed by the lectures of Day 1. On Day 3 the early career scientists will write up a report summarizing the outcome of the discussions. Report will be publicly available.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术摘要：经过数十年的深入研究，我们对具有强相关电子的系统的预测能力仍然很小。相关电子的问题被认为是令人痛苦的，因为我们需要模拟相关系统的能力来设计超导体等新材料。该研讨会致力于在该领域的创始人（演讲者）和早期职业研究人员（参与者）之间进行结构化讨论，以便确定迄今为止不起作用的内容，预计会产生具体的新颖想法，有助于解决技术摘要：非相互作用电子模型在固体物理学的许多领域中都得到了很好的建立，然而，有些材料系统的特性是由强相互作用产生的。宏观现象包括高温超导、金属-绝缘体转变、分数化拓扑相和奇怪的金属相尽管经过多年的深入研究，许多这些系统的基本物理原理仍然没有被理解，我们也没有统一的观点。在强电子上该研讨会将以独特的形式聚集了早期职业研究人员和一些杰出的资深科学家，旨在在相关电子问题上取得进展，第一天，六位对相关电子物理学具有广泛视角的资深科学家将参加。第二天早上，这些资深科学家将向大约 45 名早期职业科学家发表一系列讲座，介绍他们认为相关电子问题的重要方面以及他们认为的可能的前进方向。然后在第二天的白天出发。早期职业科学家将就这一物理学进行一些圆桌讨论、工作组和头脑风暴会议，并澄清他们对如何取得进展的想法。这些想法将通过第一天的讲座得到通知。在第三天，早期职业科学家将在第三天进行讨论。将撰写一份总结讨论结果的报告，该报告将公开。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
