Workshop on
Applications and Theoretical aspects on: topological phenomena, time-driven phase transitions, and superconductivity

Chania-Crete-Greece 12-16 July 2021

About

The workshop aims to gather together experimental and theoretical experts in condensed matter physics to advance the comprehension and discuss further the recent challenging topics on time-dependent phase transitions, topological phenomena, and superconductivity. The aim is to foster the community towards new applications and technological advancements.

As for the time-dependent phase transitions, in recent years the experiments have shown light-induced phase transitions and new fields of application are emerging, including material design. Regarding topological materials, new challenges have arisen to detect the Majorana origin of quantized conductance in superconducting hybrid structures, as well as the effect of interaction on edge channels. Finally, regarding superconductivity, non-conventional pairing and correlation effects dominates the physics of a vast class of 2D materials and novel devices were recently conceived. The workshop will offer a comprehensive overview on these topics and will be a discussion forum to promote new ideas in these fertile fields of research.

The Workshop will take place in Chania, Crete, Greece 12 — 16 July 2021 and is embedded as a parallel event into the International Conference on Statistical Physics (SigmaPhi 2021), which will be hosted at Minoa Palace Resort.
