The conference on Quantum Geometry in Quantum Materials aims to explore
the profound impact of quantum geometric properties, such as the quantum metric
and geometric curvature (Berry curvature), on the physical properties of
quantum materials. These properties, combined with non-trivial topology and
many-body correlations, have become critical for understanding and predicting
exotic electronic, optical, and transport phenomena in these systems. The
conference will focus on the following topics:
--Quantum Geometry and
Electronics: Impact of Berry curvature and quantum metric on electronic
behaviour.
--Nonlinear Phenomena: Role of quantum geometry in nonlinear
transport, optics, and anharmonicity.
--Emergent Phases and Many-Body Effects:
Influence on unconventional superconductivity, correlated flat bands,
topological transitions, fractional quantum Hall states, spin-orbit coupling,
and quasiparticle dynamics.
--Hydrodynamic Regimes: Geometric underpinnings of
quantum liquids and hydrodynamic behaviour. The
materials of interest, though not limited to, include graphene, twisted bilayer
systems, transition metal dichalcogenides, flat-band superconductors, magnetic
topological insulators, and Weyl/Dirac semimetals.
The conference aims to provide a focused platform for collaboration among condensed
matter physicists, both theoretical and experimental, at the forefront of the
field. Our goals are to:
--Identify future research directions in quantum
materials development.
--Catalyse collaborations to tackle key challenges.
--Drive technological innovations in quantum-geometric materials.
