Scientific Calendar Event



Description
An ICTP Virtual Meeting

Strongly correlated many-body systems constitute a topic of great theoretical and experimental relevance, since they are connected to many interesting open questions in condensed matter physics, and provide one of the main avenues of research to find and understand new quantum materials.
 
This conference is intended to provide a platform for young researchers (postdocs and advanced Ph.D. students) working on these topics to promote their research, share their knowledge, exchange ideas, and establish scientific collaborations. Profiting from the benefits of the online format, speakers from different countries will join, and each session will contain an introductory talk delivered by an experienced researcher. The conference is expected to encourage collaborative work between theorists and experimentalists, as well as to compensate for the lack of face-to-face exchanges that would normally take place without the current COVID-19 situation.

Topics:
  • Computational and analytical techniques for condensed matter systems
  • Quantum phases and critical phenomena
  • Strongly correlated materials
  • Non-equilibrium quantum dynamics
  • Topological phases and phenomena
  • Quantum information
  • Quantum devices
