• 1st week [August 31st (Mon) - September 4th (Fri)] : International School

• 2nd week [September 7th (Mon) - 11th (Fri)] : International Conference

Scope

“Localisation” is a series of conferences which dates back to 1984 when “Localization, Interaction, and Transport Phenomena” was held in PTB Braunschweig, West Germany. Localisation 2026 will be held at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP) at Kyoto University, Japan, as part of the Yukawa International Schools. The event features a school during the first week, followed by a conference in the second week. The topics covered in Localisation 2026 include

• Anderson localization and transition in disordered systems (electronic, photonic, phononic, random graphs and others)

• Effects of disorder in topological insulators, semimetals, and graphene

• Quantum Hall transitions

• Many-body localization

• Localization and topology in disordered non-Hermitian systems

• Machine learning approach to disordered quantum systems

• Localization phenomena in artificial quantum systems such as cold atoms and spin ices

• measurement-driven entanglement transitions
