Summer Workshop 2024

New developments in electronic quantum order: transport and dynamics

This workshop will convene experts in electronic order in two- and three-dimensional quantum materials to discuss recent theoretical and experimental developments. Of particular interest are excitonic order, superconductivity, altermagnetism, and spin liquids, and their Floquet engineering.

Dates: Saturday 27 - Monday 29 July 2024

Venue: Physics-Astronomy Auditorium (PAA) Room A118, Department of Physics, University of Washington, Seattle

Registration: Here

Housing: McCarty Hall on the UW campus. One possible walking route from McCarty to PAA is here 

Travel: From Seatac airport, Link Light Rail takes you in 47 minutes for $3.25 to the U District Station which is 0.5 miles walk from McCarty Hall and 0.6 miles walk from PAA. A taxi from Seatac will set you back $70. The closest parking to PAA is the Central Plaza garage.
