Workshop - Topological Quantum Matter in Magnetic and Synthetic Platforms

Summary

Topological quantum matter plays a central role in both modern condensed matter and quantum statistical physics and has many exciting applications including, potentially, quantum computation. This workshop will bring together researchers working on various fronts of topological quantum matter, both experimentally and theoretically, and to stimulate interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations.

Applications are welcome and should be made by using the Application Form. The application deadline is 3rd May 2024. The number of attendees is limited. The registration fee for the international workshop is 200 Euro and should be paid by all participants. Costs for accommodation and meals will be covered by the Max Planck Institute. Limited funding is available to partially cover travel expenses.
