Summary

The fall school "Topological Quantum Matter 2021" is the first of its kind event organized by ct.qmat in the beautiful German town of Erfurt. It is dedicated to introduce 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 the 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 within ct.qmat as well as to all interested external participants.
