Overview

This is the joint activity of “The QS²C Theory Forum” and “The Asian Pacific Workshop”.

The QS²C Theory Forum

One of the activities in the program “Quantum Science of Strongly Correlated Systems” (Leader: Prof. Yoshinori Tokura, University of Tokyo and RIKEN) in “World-Leading Innovative R&D on Science and Technology (FIRST Program)” funded for 5 years (2010-2014) by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

The Asian Pacific Workshop (APW)

[Chairman] Prof. Fuchun Zhang (The University of Hong Kong)

The scope of this workshop is to discuss the following themes in condensed matter physics.

• First-principles calculations
• Topological aspects of condensed matter
• Spintronics
• Frustration and textures in spin systems
• Strong correlation
• Superconductivity and bose condensation

The majority of the speakers are the theorists, and we also invite some distinguished experimentalists.
