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.
