The International Conference on QCD in Extreme Conditions (XQCD) is a series of international workshop-style conferences, held annually, which aims at covering recent advances in the theory and phenomenology of QCD under extreme conditions of temperature and/or baryon density, together with related topics.

The 21th edition of the conference (XQCD 2025) will be hosted by the University of Wrocław, Wrocław, Poland, from July 2 to July 4, 2025.

 

The PhD School on QCD in Extreme Conditions, accompanying the XQCD 2025, will take place from June 30 to July 1, 2025, at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Wrocław. 

 

Topics

 

  • QCD at Finite Temperature and Density
  • Heavy Ion Collisions
  • Phenomenology
  • Phase Diagram of Strongly Interacting Matter
  • Properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
  • Properties of Strongly Interacting Gauge Theories
  • The Sign Problem in Lattice QCD
  • QCD in External Fields
  • Neutron Stars
