An ICTP Meeting

This workshop and school, featuring lectures, tutorials, roundtables, and talks, will explore strongly correlated electron systems, focusing on novel phases, quantum criticality, exotic magnetic states, fractional excitations, moiré physics, and non-equilibrium phenomena.

This workshop and school will explore the rich physics of strongly correlated electron systems, focusing on their novel ground states, quantum critical phenomena, and emergent behaviors. Topics include fractionalized excitations in quantum spin liquids and topological phases, unconventional superconductivity, strange and bad metals, and transport in Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Special attention will be given to the impact of disorder, spin-phonon interactions, and non-equilibrium dynamics and light-induced, as well as cutting-edge developments in moiré systems such as twisted bilayer graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides. The event aims to integrate experimental and theoretical perspectives through lectures, tutorials, and in-depth discussions, fostering collaborations and advancing understanding.

Topics
  • Novel ground states of matter and excitations
  • Spectroscopies and transport of fractionalized excitations in topological phases of matter, such as quantum spin liquids and fractional Chern insulators.
  • The roles of disorder and spin-phonon interaction in quantum matter
  • A revolutionary "twist" on the quantum two-dimensional physics provided by exciting experiments on moire systems such as twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers
  • Quantum-critical behavior and superconductivity in correlated electron systems due to continuing discoveries of new materials
  • Transport in strange and bad metals, including Weyl and Dirac semimetals
  • Non-equilibrium dynamics and light-induced phenomena and dynamic phase transitions in quantum matter
