Elastic Manipulation and Dynamics of Quantum Materials

International Seminar and Workshop
31 July - 11 August 2023
_{(workshop week: 31 July - 4 August 2023)}

An exciting recent development in condensed matter physics is concerned with effects of elastic tuning and response of various types of electronic order in a broad range of quantum materials.
This workshop aims at bringing together experimentalists and theorists in the field to discuss and develop an understanding of equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium coupling of electronic and elastic degrees of freedom in strongly-correlated materials.

Topics include

• Quantum criticality in strain-tuned systems: which are the experimental observations and theoretical approaches? 
• 2D van der Waals and Moiré structures: which is the role of elastic coupling?
• Topological order: which is the role of topology in correlated electronic systems with strong coupling to elastic degrees of
  freedom?
• In and out of equilibrium dynamics of electronic systems: which are the experimenta observations and theoretical approaches?
