International Doctoral Training Session - Frontiers of condensed matter.
Where: Les Houches, (France)
When: September 16-27, 2019
For whom: Casimir Pre-PhD students and PhD students
Programme:
This Les Houches international doctoral training session aims at offering Master and PhD students a training program in the area of Condensed Matter Physics. It is organized jointly by the Ecole Doctorale de Physique de Grenoble (France), the Casimir Research School Delft-Leiden (Netherlands), and the Donostia International Physics Center, San Sebastian (Spain).
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.
The session can host 70 participants, (including lecturers - limited by the size of the lecture hall), and is intended for experimentalists and theoreticians.
Lecturers & topics:
The session will consist of lectures series on the following topics:
- Quantum transport - Y. Nazarov (Delft, Netherlands)
- Topological phases - M. Houzet (Grenoble, France)
- Quantum information - R. Orus (San Sebastian, Spain)
- Nanomagnetism - W. Wernsdorfer (Karlsruhe, Germany)
- Quantum thermodynamics - J. Pekola (Aalto, Finland)
- Strongly correlated systems - L. Fritz (Utrecht, Netherlands),
