International Conference on Complexity, Topology and Dynamics in Quantum Matter
September 28 to October 2, 2026 | Congress Centrum Würzburg, Germany
CTD.QMAT26 is an international conference on emerging quantum phenomena resulting from topological physics and its interplay with many-body interactions in diverse quantum matter settings, from topological electron materials to quantum spin systems to photonics. Related contributions from other novel platforms (e.g., topological circuits, topological phononics and magnonics, ultracold atoms, etc.) are also highly welcome. The idea of CTD.QMAT26 is to bring together experts from different communities and review the present state of the field of topological physics.
The conference is organized by the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat - Complexity, Topology and Dynamics in Quantum Matter and the SFB 1170 ToCoTronics - Topological and Correlated Electronics at Surfaces and Interfaces. It is planned in the period from September 28 to October 02, 2026 and will be held at the Congress Centrum Würzburg, Germany.
