International Doctoral Training Session - Frontiers of condensed matter.
Where: Les Houches, France
When: October 10-21, 2022
For whom: Casimir Pre-PhD students and junior PhD students
Deadline for registration: June 15, 2022
Programme:
The 8th International Doctoral Training Session "Frontiers of Condensed Matter" will take place in Les Houches, Oct 10-21, 2022.
This session is organized jointly by the Physics Graduate School of Grenoble, by the Casimir Research School of Delft-Leiden (Netherlands), the Donostia International Physics Center in San Sebastian (Spain), the Graduate School of Quantum Matter at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the Transregional Collaborative Research Center Elasto-Q-Mat (Germany), and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute in Basel (Switzerland). It aims at offering final year Master students and junior PhD-students (1st/2nd year) a high-level training program in the general area of condensed matter physics.
The program will consist of several courses. The duration of each course is 3 * 1.5 hours. The courses will be complemented by more specialized research seminars on timely topics.
During the session, there will be plenty of time for informal discussions between participants and lecturers. A poster session will be organized, including a short oral presentation at the beginning of the session enabling the participants to present their research interests to each other.
Topics & lecturers:
- Quantum transport– Carlo Beenakker (Leiden, NL)
- Superconductivity– Joerg Schmalian (Karlsruhe, DE)
- Topological phases– Adolfo Grushin (Grenoble, FR)
- Quantum information– Roman Orus (San Sebastian, ES)
- Circuit QED– Zaki Leghtas (Paris, FR)
- 2D materials– Dmitri Efetov (Munich, DE),
complemented by more specialized pedagogical seminars on timely topics, poster sessions, and discussion forums.
