International Conference on Quantum Effects in
Solids of Today (I-ConQuEST)
  • K.S. Krishnan Discussion Meeting on Frontiers in Quantum Science (FQS2010)
  • of the Quantum Science Centre of the Institue of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai, India
  •  
  • December 20 to 23, 2010
  • National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi(India)
  • OVERVIEW & SCOPE
  •  
  • Condensed matter systems display a rich variety of quantum effects when subjected to low temperatures. The study of quantum phase transitions tuned by high magnetic fields, pressure and/or injected charge carriers is a field of contemporary interest. The discovery of new compounds; the ability to synthesize clean interfaces, heterostructures, tunnel junctions and field effect devices, which allow manipulation of carrier density in the material; clever ways of nano-structuring and advanced imaging techniques have permitted visualization of quantum phenomena and simultaneously have opened up avenues for their technological usage.
  •  
  • The purpose of this conference is to review recent development in the studies of quantum processes in bulk materials, surfaces, interfaces, nano materials and nanostructured materials. Both theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum processes such as electron-electron correlations, correlations driven phase transitions, superconductivity and magnetism in correlated electronic system; electron, spin- polarized-electrons and superconducting condensate transport in mesoscale and nanoscale planar structures and tunnel junctions; integral and fractional quantum Hall effect in new class of materials such as graphene, oxide interfaces and other novel 2D systems; topological insulators in two and three dimensional systems; design and synthesis of such system which show robust topological states at ambient temperature; spin Hall effect and other quantum transport phenomena in such systems, and applications of these phenomena in quantum metrology.
