In view of current efforts and future prospects, the meeting will cover:
- The emergence of strongly coupled QCD matter in heavy-ion collisions
- Small-wavelength probes of the microscopic structure in QCD media
- Testing the limits of quark–gluon plasma formation in small systems
- The interplay of nuclear structure and small-x dynamics with high-energy nuclear collisions
- New observables for hadronization and cosmic connections
- Next-generation experimental programs and detector upgrades
- Moving forward with federal initiatives on Quantum Information Science (QIS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Towards the end of the meeting, an opportunity to present flash-talks from any of the attendees will be available.
