SCOPES AND AIMS
Topological quantum matter represents a new class of materials which are characterized by non-local topological properties emerging from purely local degrees of freedom. Understanding of topological states of matter has been broadened enormously over the last decade and the study of topological quantum matter currently represents one of the hottest and most interesting areas of physics, as is also evidenced by the 2016 Noble Prize in Physics .
Achieved during the recent years impressive experimental and theoretical developments in this field, include experimental signatures for quantum spin liquids, topological insulators, Dirac and Weyl semimetals, topological superconductors hosting Majorana bound states, to name just a few examples. The corresponding theoretical developments have been just as exciting, and many perspectives for new research topics remain open.
This conference will focus on the topologically ordered phases of the quantum matter and in particular on emergent low-dimensional quantum structures and phenomena in these materials. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers working on different subjects related to the topological states of matter and to facilitate their interdisciplinary collaboration through the exchange of their knowledge, skills and methods.
The other aim of this conference is to give possibility for young researchers, PhD and Master students from the Caucasus region and neighboring countries to get the information about this fascinating field of modern science directly from leading experts in this area. This will give a possibility for young researchers from the region to establish direct contacts with colleagues of the same generation working in the leading research centers, as well as with leading experts in the field and help them elaborate their own network of research collaborations.
