    Scope

     

     

    The Workshops on Condensed Matter Theories have been held annually since 1977 in a wide variety of venues around the world.

    The primary aims of the Workshops are:

    1. to encourage cross-fertilization between different approaches to various many-body systems,
    2. to promote continuing collaborative efforts involving groups of Workshop participants, and
    3. to foster communication and cooperation between scientists in developed and developing nations.

    Regarding contents, the Workshops' orientation has always been interdisciplinary, emphasis being placed on promoting the understanding of many particle effects in such diverse areas as condensed matter, low-temperature, atomic, nuclear, chemical, statistical, and biological physics, as well as in quantum field theory, quantum optics, quantum information theory, and the theory of complex systems.

    The CMT34 adheres to this tradition of widely spread common concerns, with a special focus on the following core subjects:

    • Strong Correlations and Unconventional Superconductors
    • Topological Phases in Condensed Matter (topological insulators, spin liquids, ...)
    • Low-dimensional Systems (graphene, surfaces, mesoscopic systems)
    • Numerical Methods (recent progress and novel developments)
