ICTS

In spite of rapid developments, properties of strongly correlated gapless phases are still rather poorly understood in comparison to their weakly interacting counterparts (normal Fermi liquids). This is in spite of their ubiquity - normal state of high temperature superconductors; metals with fluctuating magnetism; gapless quantum spin liquids and fractionalised metals, to name a few. New experimental discoveries are giving rise to new clues regarding the basic physics of such correlated gapless phases and their instabilities. This includes recent research in Moire materials and Kagome metals. On the other hand, long-standing mysteries of high temperature superconductivity, strange metals, quantum criticality in heavy fermions, and the interplay between localization and strong correlations, are still not fully understood, despite important progress. The constant dialog between the latest experiments and theoretical developments keeps the field vibrant.

The second ICTP-ICTS condensed matter school will provide focus on the above issues through a combination of advanced set of topical lectures aimed at young and interested researchers as well as a set of seminars discussing the recent developments in the field.
 

Eligibility Criteria: Quantum condensed matter researchers interested in correlated metals and superconductors starting from advanced graduate students.

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.
