Conference on Novel Quantum States in Condensed Matter
Conference on Novel Quantum States in Condensed Matter
September 1-3, 2010
University of Chicago Center in Beijing
Announcement
The conference will focus on the theoretical and experimental works on the study of novel quantum states in materials and cold atomic gases. Topics will include topological phenomena in electronic physics, symmetries and states in the fractional quantum Hall effect, physics of graphene, and correlated atomic states. Historically, some of these topics have been developed independently, but a great convergence has emerged in the recent years. All these novel states have fundamental significance for physics, material science, and nanoscience, as well as potential applications in electronics and quantum information technology. The workshop aims to bring together experts in these fields from the United States, Europe, Japan, and from the broader academic community in China to discuss the unifying themes behind different concepts.
Support
The meeting is sponsored by The University of Chicago.
Venue
The conference will be held at the University of Chicago Center in Beijing located in the Haidian District.
