Starting SQM 2024: Theory state-of-the-art
Abstract
I discuss the theoretical developments 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 relativistic hydrodynamics with the inclusion of spin and magnetic fields.
