New Developments in Topological Condensed Matter, 09/2019, Les Houches (France)

02.09.2019  -  13.09.2019

Topological condensed matter is currently one of the most active research fields in physics. The field has matured and broadened considerably in the past 5 years. There have been many exciting developments, in particular in the areas of classification of topological systems, topological quantum chemistry, non-equilibrium dynamics, new types of topological phases (e.g. fractons), higher dimensional topological order, and engineering of non-Abelian excitations. In addition, a huge push for creating quantum computers is underway, part of which involves topologically-based architectures.

This two-week event at Les Houches provides a survey of these developments. It follows on from our four-week programme held in 2014.
It takes a hybrid form, with longer lectures interspersed with shorter presentations of recent developments. It is aimed at junior researchers, as well as interested newcomers at all levels.
