Quantum Matter Bordeaux School 2021

Where: Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (CRPP), 5 minutes walk from Tram B « Doyen Brus » station

When: 15 – 19 November 2021

Registration : deadline 28 October 2021
There are no registration fees, but registration is compulsory: please send an email to the organizers before the deadline and indicate whether you are Master student/PhD student/postdoc/other, and  your laboratory (except for Master students). Participants must be either students from the University of Bordeaux or affiliated to a research laboratory from University/CNRS Bordeaux.

Organisers:
Corine Mathonière, Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (CRPP) : corine.mathoniere@u-bordeaux.fr
Sébastien Burdin, Laboratoire Ondes et Matière d’Aquitaine (LOMA) : sebastien.burdin@u-bordeaux.fr

Program:
The school will cover all important topics in quantum matter, both from a theoretical and experimental point of view. It will focus on the three main themes of Quantum Matter Bordeaux: macroscopic quantum phases, quantum devices and systems, artificial quantum matter and multifunctional materials. Concepts, methods and techniques that cut across these three themes will be presented. For more details, please have a look at the booklet of the school where you can find all abstracts.

Schedule:
Classes will consist of 1 hour of lectures followed by 30 minutes of questions and discussions. In addition, participants (except for Master students) will present their research work in the form of « flash poster presentations » in two boards and 2 minutes. Their posters will then be presented in two Poster sessions of 1h30 each.

Objectives:
The objectives of the QMBx School’21 are to offer a high level multidisciplinary training for PhD students and young scientists interested in quantum matter. This school will deal with experimental and theoretical approaches based on physical and chemical concepts to study new phenomena, new materials and devices related to quantum matter. This school will complement the training received by the master students, and will provide in-depth training on emerging topics.
