Workshop on Strong Electron Correlations in Quantum Materials: Inhomogeneities, Frustration, and Topology

The last decades have seen much progress in Condensed Matter Physics. On one hand, there were experimental discoveries of several novel materials displaying exotic behavior, such as unconventional superconductivity, fractional statistics, and topologically nontrivial phases. On the other hand, there was tremendous progress in engineering artificial systems like optical lattices, Rydberg atoms, and Floquet systems, establishing the field of Quantum Simulators. Besides being a proxy to interesting Condensed Matter systems, the Quantum Simulators also have access to the dynamics of the system, bringing exciting new possibilities and challenges to study many-body systems with an unprecedented degree of control. Overall, many of the most interesting properties arise from strong interactions between their constituents, with growing evidence of the key role played by inhomogeneities, frustration, and topological aspects of the matter.

In this workshop, we bring together experts working in this challenging and rapidly evolving field of Strongly Correlated Electronic Systems, to present their experimental and theoretical progress. This will allow for a vigorous exchange of ideas and hopefully stimulate exciting new collaborations between the participants.

Topics of the workshop include:
1. In and out of equilibrium disordered metals and insulators
2. Frustrated magnets, spin liquids, and topological insulators
3. Correlated and topological superconductors

This activity is a natural continuation of a workshop organized in 2018. Last but not least, the event also celebrates Prof. Eduardo Miranda’s 60th Birthday, honoring his contributions to the field and to the Brazilian Physics community.

There is no registration fee.
