39th CNLS Annual Conference "Strongly Correlated Quantum Materials"
Eldorado Hotel & Spa
309 W San Francisco St.
Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501

SUMMARY
Strongly correlated quantum materials provide a fertile ground for novel quantum phases and unusual excitations. The developments in recent years have considerably expanded the frontiers of the field. Correlated topological states arise in materials with both strong correlations and large spin-orbit coupling. Signatures of quantum spin liquids appear in a flurry of new magnetic systems. Quantum criticality and strange metal behavior develop near a broad range of electronic orders, and are often associated with an electronic localization-delocalization instability. Considerable new insights are gained in the understanding of the iron-based superconductors and other classes of high temperature or otherwise unconventional superconductors. Engineered low-dimensional structures provide unexpected settings for the interplay between strong correlations and superconductivity. Finally, surprising properties are found in correlated systems driven out of equilibrium.
The conference will showcase these exciting developments. It will bring together key researchers active in the broad range of topics, promote crosstalk among the sub-communities, and highlight the emerging principles that may apply across the materials classes. To realize these goals, the speakers are instructed to emphasize on open questions, perspectives and outlooks.
The program will include eight invited sessions, as listed below. Each session will start with an introduction by a discussion leader, followed by three or four invited talks. In addition, there will be two poster sessions and a number of short talks to be selected from contributed abstracts.
