MetaquantM - Creation & manipulation of new states of metastable quantum matter
Organized by Dragan Mihailovic, Alberto Rosso, Serguei Brazovski, Natasha Kirova, Igor Vaskivski, Claudine Le Vaou & Natasa Kutnjak
The MetaQuantM summer school aims to equip participants with foundational knowledge, advanced techniques, and interdisciplinary perspectives necessary to engage with this rapidly evolving field. By bringing together experimentalists, theorists, and computational scientists, the program will provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles and tools required to study, control, and utilise non-equilibrium states. Examples of physical systems to be studied are strongly-coupled light-matter systems, for example polariton condensates; the behaviour of materials under strong optical driving, including Floquet dynamics; the manipulation of topological degrees of freedom; the excitation of collective degrees of freedom by optical pulses, such as magnetic polarons in doped semiconductors; the dynamics of glassy and charge-ordered materials, including charge-density waves; dynamical driving of novel superconductors and their collective modes; quantum optics and non-Hermitian dynamics.
