High temperature superconductivity has proved both a source of great excitement and deep mystery since the first discovery of the copper oxide superconductors in the 1980s and the recent discovery of the iron pnictide superconductors. The wast majority of researchers agree that, to understand superconductivity, one needs to understand first the normal state of these materials. The latter, is, however, highly non-trivial and contains, e.g., the pseudogap phase in the cuprates and the nematic phase in iron pnictides and chalcogenides. Arriving at a theoretical understanding of the normal state in both these materials is particularly challenging given the likely involvement of multiple of these contributing factors. Within the last few years, however, an infusion of new experimental results has finally made a resolution of normal state physics in the family of high temperature superconductors a tangible possibility. The workshop will focus on in-depth discussion of the origin of the pseudogap in the cuprates (e,g, whether it is a precursor to some other state or a state with broken symmetry) and of unconventional normal state properties of Fe pnictides and chalcogenides. Similarities and differences between these two classes of high-temperature superconductors will be discussed.
