Dynamical Response and Transport in Quantum Magnets

Coordinators: Cristian Batista, Natalia Perkins and Lucile Savary

Recent progress in magnetism has been made by steadily increasing our understanding of its quantum aspects, as well as by embracing the complexity of magnetic materials with entangled spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom. These efforts are revealing new horizons that remained hidden behind this complexity, such as the emergence of low-energy quantum gauge theories that control the collective phenomena of different classes of quantum magnets. Harnessing substantial progress over the last several years, this conference will bring participants together to address outstanding modern challenges of quantum magnetism. These will include the search for real materials with novel topologically-ordered states of matter, the computation and measurement of dynamical and transport properties that can reveal fingerprints of fractionalization and multipolar ordering and the roles of disorder and spin-phonon interaction. We will also include the emergent-electrodynamics induced by topological spin textures, the unusual dynamics of integrable systems, and the revolutionary twist on the quantum 2D magnetism provided by experiments on Moiré systems such as twisted bilayer graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) bilayers.

PLEASE NOTE: During the conference there will be an opportunity to present a poster. If you are interested in presenting a poster please visit the conference website and submit your title and abstract. Each poster board is 4 feet high x 6 feet wide. We ask that the posters be no larger than 44 inches high x 34 inches wide at the most (it is important to follow these measurements or posters may be turned down due to limited space).
