Summer School on Correlated Quantum Materials & Solid State Quantum Systems

Date & Facts

15 – 19 Sept 2025

We plan for a hybrid event with all lecturers on site at the University of Würzburg.

To participate on site, please register via e-mail by June 15, 2025, indicating your name, career stage/title, affiliation, title of intended poster presentation (if any) as well as the day(s) you wish to attend.

To participate online, please use the invitation link that will be published on the SFB Q-M&S website.

There is no participation fee. Travel support for SFB Q-M&S and ct.qmat members is available. External participants attending on site are welcome to join the coffee breaks as well as the official school dinners.

+++Please refer to the SFB Q-M&S website for all future updates of the event.+++

Summary

The Summer School 2025 on Correlated Quantum Materials & Solid State Quantum Systems is the third school of the SFB Q-M&S and the first one to collaborate with the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat – Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter. It will consist of tutorials on selected topics of the SFB Q-M&S and ct.qmat, student talks for students, poster sessions as well as individual discussions, soft skills training, a Ladies’ and a School Dinner, and a social activity. The school is primarily designed to train the SFB Q-M&S’s and ct.qmat’s PhD students and postdocs, but is open to researchers from other institutions as well.

The SFB Q-M&S is a collaborative research project funded by the Austrian Science Fund and the German Research Foundation, with ten PIs hosted at four institutions across Austria and Germany. It aims to bridge the fields of correlated quantum materials and solid state quantum systems, to advance both. For more information, please visit the project website.

The Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat – Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter – has been jointly run by Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg and Technische Universität (TU) Dresden since 2019. Over 300 scientists from more than thirty countries and four continents study topological quantum materials that reveal surprising phenomena under extreme conditions such as ultra-low temperatures, high pressure, or strong magnetic fields. ct.qmat is funded through the German Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State Governments and is the only Cluster of Excellence in Germany to be based in two different federal states.
