Summary
CTD.QMAT26 is an international conference on emerging quantum phenomena resulting from topological physics and its interplay with many-body interactions in diverse quantum matter settings, from topological electron materials to quantum spin systems and photonics. Related contributions from other novel platforms (e.g., topological circuits, topological phononics and magnonics, ultracold atoms, etc.) are also highly welcome. The idea of CTD.QMAT26 is to bring together experts from different communities and review the present state of the field of topological physics.
The conference is organized by the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat – Complexity, Topology and Dynamics in Quantum Matter and the Würzburg-based Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1170 Topological and Correlated Electronics at Surfaces and Interfaces .
The conference is supported by the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Tourism and the Wittenstein foundation.
Topics
- Topological electrons
