The goal of the meeting will be achieved by presenting series of lectures for the broad auditorium of young researchers (e.g. Master and PhD students. Young postdocs and research associates), as well as senior scientists from developing countries working on different areas of condensed matter physics, material science, and statistical and chemical physics. Invited speakers will be world-wide recognized experts on above topics. Beside the invited speakers there will be short talks to be presented by young participants from developing countries of Centrasl Asia and Caucasus.
The progress made in modern quantum science during past two decades lead to discovering principally new phenomena and engineering of advanced functional materials which may play crucial role for the developments in modern science and technology. Especially, this concerns relatively new area, quantum technology which is based on the use of such quantum phenomena as entanglement, quantum coherence and topological effects in functionalization of advanced nanoscale materials. It is commonly believed that low-dimensional functional materials such as graphene, topological insulators, novel superconductors, quantum sensors, quantum spin liquids may replace in near future traditional ones in electronic, optical and mechanical devices by increasing their energy- and resource saving efficiency, durability, making them maximally compact, flexible and environmentally safe. Unusual properties of these materials make possible realization and practical utilization of new quantum phenomena are related to underlying fundamental phenomena such as topological effects, relativistic-like behavior (in graphene and Majorana fermions), disorder and coherence effects, quantum transport etc. Fabrication of new materials and devices requires study of such effects and tuning of the physical properties of these materials. Therefore, the lectures to be presented at the Conference will be focused on most advanced topics of condensed matter physics which are relevant to novel materials for energy conversion, highly precise measurements and sensing, quantum information and medical applications. The goal of the lectures will be twofold, educational and expert-level discussions of novel results. The latter will be done both during the panel lectures and informal seminars.
