Overview:

Solitons such as skyrmions in magnets, vortices in superconductors, and Majorana fermions in topological superconductors are pivotal objects through which we understand transport properties and critical phenomena of various condensed matter. The aim of the workshop is to bring together theoretical and experimental experts on solitons and related phenomena in quantum materials including, but not limited to, magnets, superfluids, superconductors, and multiferroics, to broaden research efforts beyond individual material systems with the goal toward learning universal physics of topological soliton.

Topics include:

1. • Skyrmion magnets
   

2. • Vortices in superconductors / Majorana fermions in topological superconductors
   

3. • Topological phases of matter
   

4. • Non-hermitian phases
