*** CANCELLED ***

Corresponding to current official recommendations regarding the rapid spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the TOPQM20 Workshop is cancelled. Once the situation becomes clearer, we will look for new dates and reschedule the workshop.

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together leading scientists working on topological phases in condensed matter systems, with an emphasis on phenomena which arise due to the interplay of symmetry and topology. The purpose is twofold: on the one hand, we want to bring together experts to report on their progress and to discuss future directions, and on the other hand provide an opportunity for new-coming PhD students and young postdocs to learn about recent developments in the field.

The focus of the workshop includes the following topics:

Higher order topological phases

Crystalline Topological Insulators

Realization of topologically phases in optical lattices and new quantum materials

Novel phases in twisted multilayer materials

Symmetry protected / enriched topological phases

Artificial gauge fields

Topological quantum computing
