Among strongly correlated quantum models, integrable systems play a crucial role in providing a solid theoretical foundation for these concepts. These models are distinguished by an infinite number of conserved charges and stable quasi-particle excitations. When integrability is weakly broken, interactions between quasi-particles emerge, leading to the development of a novel kinetic theory. In this talk, I will review recent progress in this kinetic framework, which offers many insights into non-equilibrium phenomena of strongly interacting systems, including the emergence of the Navier-Stokes equations from quantum dynamics.</font></div><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;"><br></div></div><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 2.63 (2nd floor).</font></div></div><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;"><font face="HelveticaNeue"><br></font></div><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;"><div dir="auto" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">Maria Ekiel-Jeżewska</font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">Maciej Lisicki</font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">Piotr Szymczak</font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">Panagiotis Theodorakis</font></div></div></div></body></html>
