Strongly Correlated Matter: from Quantum Criticality to Flat Bands | (smr 3732) (22 August 2022

Description

An ICTP Hybrid Meeting

Joint Conference ICTP - William I. Fine Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Minnesota

This hybrid activity brings together junior and senior researchers to discuss latest developments in correlated and flat-band electron systems. To bring junior participants up to speed, two full days are reserved for tutorials. The rest of the program is a combination of invited talks, poster sessions, and group discussions on topics suggested by participants.

Topics:

Correlated phases in Moire systems
Transport in strange and bad metals
Superconducting pairing in quantum-critical and low carrier density systems
Topological superconductors
Topological orders in correlated materials
Pair-density waves and other new orders in high-temperature superconductors
Frustrated quantum magnets
