State-of-the-art of Strangeness in Quark Matter Theory 2024

Abstract

I discuss the theoretical developments in related to Strangeness in Quark Matter (SQM) leading up to the SQM2024 conference. These advances include mapping out the Quantum Chromodynamics phase diagram; puzzles that exist in hadron physics from light to heavy particles; and advanced in relativistic hydrodynamics with the inclusion of spin and magnetic fields.
