June 8 — 12, 2026

Description

The field of Quantum Condensed Matter Physics has undergone a revolution since the 1980’s due to discoveries such as the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects, 2D and 3D topological insulators, and superconductivity in Moire materials such as twisted bilayer graphene. These seminal discoveries have opened up a new era in the investigation and application of novel quantum phenomena, enabled by recent advances in fabrication techniques and manipulation of quantum materials. These developments in quantum materials have also catalyzed extensive research on analogous wave phenomena in photonics, acoustics and mechanics, where these phenomena can be realized in engineered meta-materials. This workshop will bring together physicists and mathematicians working across these fields and who share common mathematical challenges. We aim to broaden students’ and researchers’ exposure to these areas and to present recent advances in modeling, mathematical analysis and computational approaches for quantum materials and meta-materials.
