Over the last few years, there has been an upsurge of interest in systems where new physical phenomena may emerge as the result of interplay of relativistic spin-orbit interaction, electron correlation and band-structure topology. A plethora of exotic states of matter have been theoretically proposed and intensively explored experimentally in new compounds of late transition metals and rare earth elements. These novel states of matter include spin-orbit Mott insulators, quantum spin-liquids and spin-ice, correlated topological insulators and semi-metals, topological superconductors, and ‘hidden’ multipolar phases.

The aim of this one-week conference is to provide a platform for discussions among the experts in theory, experiment, and material design to share current insights, to make precise connections between theoretical proposals and real materials, and to define future directions for exploring new quantum states of matter in spin-orbit coupled systems.
