Area A - Topological Electrons
The main research objectives of Area A are devoted to the development of novel topological materials, the investigation of the interplay of electronic correlations and spin-orbit coupling in topological systems, the exploitation of superconducting hybrid systems as seeds for emergent particles, such as Majorana- or parafermions, the interaction between light and matter with respect to axion electrodynamics, and hydrodynamic transport phenomena in electronic systems based on Dirac fermions.
