In recent years, advanced synchrotron-based spectroscopies have dramatically expanded our ability to investigate the quantum states of materials. Advanced spectroscopic techniques such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) have become indispensable tools for revealing electronic structures, collective excitations, and emergent phenomena in quantum and functional materials.
The QFM-2026 workshop aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform that brings together researchers working on advanced spectroscopic techniques and novel quantum and functional materials. Particular emphasis will be placed on the complementary roles of ARPES and RIXS in exploring strongly correlated systems, topological materials, and other emerging quantum phenomenon.
The workshop will highlight recent progress in synchrotron facilities and instrumentation, including developments at NanoTerasu in Japan and the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) in Taiwan. By fostering close interactions among experimentalists, theorists, and instrumentation scientists, the workshop seeks to promote new collaborations and stimulate innovative approaches to the study of quantum materials.
We also strongly encourage the active participation of early-career researchers. Through international exchange between Japan, Taiwan, and other regions, the workshop aims to strengthen the next generation of researchers and build a vibrant global community working on quantum and functional materials, with tutorial and invited talks.
The QFM-2026 is an open international workshop. Participation is open to anyone with an interest in advanced synchrotron spectroscopy and quantum & functional materials.
