Roundtable: What can we learn about confinement and anomalous effects in QCD using analog systems?

Abstract

We discuss a number of examples for recent connections between emergent phenomena in many-body systems in atomic and condensed matter physics, and confinement and other non-perturbative effects in quantum chromodynamics.

Prepared for the proceedings of the XII Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum, 29 August to 3 September 2016, Thessaloniki, Greece
