Workshop on Topological Phase Transitions and New Developments from 5 to 8 June 2017 at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

In recent years, ideas from topology, a branch of mathematics dealing with the properties of space that are preserved under continuous deforming such as stretching and bending, have rapidly infiltrated physics and drive both theoretical and experimental efforts into the study of new exotic materials. The discovery of topological phases has not only engendered great interest among researchers in condensed matter physics but it has also attract the interest of researchers working on quantum information, quantum materials and simulations, high energy physics and string theory. This workshop aims to bring together researchers working on various aspects of topological phases and topological phase transitions.

Short Courses on Topological Phase Transitions from 30 May to 2 June 2017, Singapore

In addition to the regular workshop, we have arranged a series of short courses during the preceding week (30 May to 2 June 2017). This will consist of 4 sets of 4 lectures (1.5 hours each). The goal of these short courses is to provide an in-depth exposition on some selected topics in the field of topological phases. The course aims at Ph.D. students and research fellows working on different aspects of topological phases in various disciplines (condensed matter, photonics, cold atoms, spintronics).
