Summary

Following the previous success of the first QMA Fall School back in 2021, we are delighted to announce the Second QMA Fall School “Topological Quantum Matter,” which will take place in the beautiful city of Leipzig. It is dedicated to introducing the rapidly revolving research frontiers of quantum materials to young scientists at the PhD and Postdoc level. The school will feature lectures from renowned scientists, from both theoretical and experimental backgrounds, to develop a deeper understanding of quantum systems. In addition to interaction with top researchers, the Fall School will also aim to promote peer-to-peer networking, while providing the participants with an opportunity to present their own results in a specially dedicated poster session. The school is open to junior researchers from within ct.qmat as well as to all interested external participants.
