ICTS

The field of quantum condensed matter physics continues to produce ever new experimental discoveries and theoretical progress at an astonishing pace. One must go beyond the conventional paradigms of broken symmetries and well-defined quasiparticles to understand many systems of current interest. Band topology and geometry, topological order, and quantum entanglement are essential new ingredients. In addition to new experimental discoveries leading to new challenges, there remain gaps in our understanding of long-standing problems such as high temperature superconductivity, strange metals, quantum criticality in heavy fermions, and the interplay between localization and strong correlations, despite important progress. The constant dialogue between the latest experiments and theoretical developments keeps the field vibrant.

This meeting will feature talks by leading researchers - theorists and experimentalists - from India and abroad working on some of the most exciting new developments in quantum condensed matter physics. It will also be an occasion to celebrate the career of Professor T. V. Ramakrishnan and his pioneering contributions to this field.

Eligibility Criteria:  Senior PhD students, Postdoctoral Fellows, and Research faculties working in the related field.
Accommodation will be provided for outstation participants at our on campus guest house.

ICTS is committed to building an environment that is inclusive, non-discriminatory and welcoming of diverse individuals. We especially encourage the participation of women and other under-represented groups.
