Program
The scientific program, consisting of approximately eight plenary talks, 16 semi-plenary talks, and several sessions and contributed talks, covers various areas of operator theory, and its connections to complex analysis, harmonic analysis, random matrix theory, mathematical physics, inverse problems, and their applications.

The interest in non-selfadjoint operators has been steadily growing in the last decades, for at least two reasons. First, their spectral analysis and computation pose interesting challenges, and secondly, there is a wide range of applications e.g. in mathematical physics where non-selfadjoint operators arise. This special session is dedicated to recent developments in this exciting area of operator theory and its applications.

In the broad sense, Quantum Harmonic Analysis (QHA) is dedicated to the transfer of harmonic analysis tools to quantum mechanics, and as such is a field as old as quantum mechanics itself. More specifically, one may also understand QHA as a formalism developed in R. Werner's celebrated 1984-paper "Quantum Harmonic Analysis on phase space." This formalism, originating from considerations in theoretical physics, did not get much traction in mathematical analysis until recently, but can now be viewed as a prime example of a mathematical application of quantum physics (rather than the other way around, which seems more common). Notably, a nice collection of applications to (Toeplitz) operator theory and time-frequency analysis has been found in recent years. Current fields of interest in QHA include: further development of the mathematical foundations of the theory, reformulating and extending known results in this formalism in order to get a better understanding of the interplay between the different fields, and the exploration of even more applications both ways. Besides pushing QHA itself forward by bringing the experts together, the aim of this special session is also to introduce it to a broader audience who wants to get in touch with this beautiful subject. Talks are welcome from a wide range of topics including Toeplitz operators, time-frequency analysis and quantization.
