School of Theoretical Physics – Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
A Workshop on Nano-Science and Quantum Matter in Low Dimensions will take place at DIAS from 10th to 12th November. The meeting will be organized jointly by DIAS and Maynooth University, Ireland. The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading scientists in nano-science, condensed matter and quantum information with a view to fostering interdisciplinary communication and collaboration. Although there will be a strong emphasis on topological and surface state aspects of condensed matter, we are aiming to also include related topics such as material design, quantum information, and statistical and quantum field theories.
More details including registration information can be found here.
