RATIONALE
ct.qmat23 is an international workshop 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 excitonics, phononics and magnonics, ultracold atoms, etc.) are highly welcome. The idea of ct.qmat23 is to bring together experts from different communities and review the present state of the field of topological physics.
The workshop is organized by the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat - Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter and the SFB 1170 ToCoTronics - Topological and Correlated Electronics at Surfaces and Interfaces.
It will also be the occasion to celebrate the 80th birthday of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Werner Hanke, who has decisively shaped the profile of condensed-matter theory in Würzburg in the past decades.
TOPICS
The scope of ct.qmat23 covers a variety of topics of topological phenomena such as:
- Topological Electrons
- Quantum Magnetism
- Topological Photonics
- Tailoring Topological Functionality

SOCIAL EVENTS
WORKSHOP DINNER
The workshop dinner will take place on Thursday, July 13, 2023 at 7 p.m. at the Bürgerspital Weinstuben Würzburg.
TUSCANY HALL (RESIDENCE)
Friday, July 14, 2023, at 3pm
With an overview given by the President of the Würzburg University Prof. Dr. Paul Pauli, Prof. Dr. Ralph Claessen, Prof. Dr. Ronny Thomale and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang v. d. Linden (TU Graz) will highlight the role of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. W. Hanke for the development of theoretical Physics in Würzburg, starting out nearly four decades ago. Particular emphasis will be given to recent achievement reflecting the close interaction between experiments and theory such as leading to the first QSH insulator working at room temperature, it’s fascinating application prospects and other recent developments embedded in the excellence cluster ct.qmat framework.
VENUE
The International workshop on Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter 2023 (ct.qmat23) will be held on 13th July 2023 at the Röntgen Hall (Physics Department) and 14th July 2023 at the Würzburg Residence in Würzburg, Germany.
Workshop hotel: Melchior Park
Restaurants & bars (recommendations and map):
More details will be posted in due time.
Infos about Würzburg: Tourist information
Travel (Arrival/Departure)
More details will be posted in due time.
The participants of ct.qmat23 will enjoy one of Germany's most beautiful cities, lying at the start of the Romantic Road route: Würzburg. Right in the heart of Franconia, one of Germany's biggest wine-producing areas, the city itself is set in a beautiful hilly location on River Main and possesses a wealth of history which centers around the Prince Bishops and their two main homes over the centuries, the Marienberg Fortress and the Würzburg Residence Palace, the latter being a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Apart from the world-famous places to see, during the workshop time, the traditional wine festival Wein am Stein take place in Würzburg. Don't miss it!
