The first day of the Symposium in Honor of Yuri Lozovik, held on February 6, 2025, at New York City College of Technology, brought together leading researchers in condensed matter physics to discuss advancements in exciton condensation, superfluidity, Josephson junctions in 2D materials, and Moray materials. The symposium honored Lozovik’s legacy, particularly his pioneering work on exciton superfluidity in coupled quantum wells. Key discussions centered on the theoretical and experimental challenges in Josephson junctions, counterflow experiments, and the potential of Moray materials to host novel quantum states. The event underscored the significance of clean sample fabrication and experimental validation in advancing our understanding of 2D quantum systems. Throughout the day, Professor Oleg Berman’s exceptional leadership and dedication ensured the event’s success, facilitating rigorous scientific dialogue and meaningful tributes to Lozovik’s contributions. The session concluded with forward-looking discussions on the future of quantum electronics, superconductivity, and topological materials, setting the stage for an equally insightful Day 2.

The second day of the Symposium in Honor of Yuri Lozovik, held on February 7, 2025, continued with high-level discussions on fractional quantum Hall effects, topological mod insulators, and emergent superconductivity in 2D materials. A central theme was the role of topology in mod insulators, particularly how strong correlations lead to exotic quantum states with potential applications in fault-tolerant quantum computing. Additional sessions focused on counterflow experiments in bilayer graphene, charge transport mechanisms, and the experimental challenges in detecting non-Abelian anyons. The symposium also explored Moray engineering as a platform for controlling electronic interactions, enabling the study of strongly correlated electron systems with unprecedented tunability. Once again, Professor Oleg Berman’s dedication and meticulous organization played a crucial role in facilitating engaging discussions. The event concluded with forward-looking questions about realizing topological insulators experimentally, detecting non-Abelian anyons, and leveraging Moray materials for novel quantum phases, reinforcing Lozovik’s lasting impact on the field of condensed matter physics.
