Topological Materials and Electron Correlations

NOTICE: Postponed to November 15-17, 2021. Please visit the website: https://rcqm.rice.edu/events/102/. Register now at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/workshop-on-topological-materials-and-electron-correlations-tickets-198432887107.

There have been extensive recent advancements on topological materials, both in weakly correlated settings and in strongly interacting systems. Among these are discovery and exploration of new topological states of matter and their transitions to nearby quantum phases. The breadth of the field calls for interactions among the different sub-communities. This workshop aims to bring together top experts from these communities to highlight the recent achievements in each area, and to provide a forum for cross-talk among the subjects.

The workshop will revolve around the following focus areas in the overarching field of Topological Materials:

-         Symmetry-protected Semimetals

-         Topological States in Magnets and Superconductors

-         Topological States Driven by Strong Correlations

-         Strong Correlation Physics for Topology

-         Tuning Topological States

-         Diverse Materials and Broader Contexts
