2026 Global Workshop on Quantum Material Synthesis

Rice University, Rice Global Paris Center

June 9th - 12th, 2026

The central theme of the workshop is to communicate recent developments, identify new research areas, and collectively address urgent materials challenges faced by the community of quantum materials synthesis. This workshop will be an interdisciplinary forum to bring together physicists, materials scientists, chemists, both experimentalists and theorists in the quantum materials community. It will also address a need to promote educational and career opportunities for a diverse group of young scientists interested in modern materials synthesis via a wide range of techniques.

The workshop is organized by the Rice Center for Quantum Materials (RCQM) in the Smalley-Curl Institute (SCI) at Rice University and will take place at the Rice Global Paris Center.
