NSF Frontiers of Condensed Matter Physics Workshop on Topological Phases of Matter

Princeton University, Princeton NJ

Investigators

Abstract

This workshop will bring together researchers from around the world to identify and explore topics at the frontier in the investigation of topological phases of matter. The topics covered will include new experimental results in topological insulators and topological superconductors, proximity and edge effects, the interplay between topology and strong correlation, and address the possibility of new topological states that are not covered by the classification scheme of non-interacting fermions, as well as new materials and topological states, including Dirac and Weyl fermions. This workshop, whose results will appear in a formal report, will capture the excitement and promise of this rapidly growing field of research.
