Pioneer Symposia

Pioneer symposia are consisted of several invited talks on hot issues of physics sub-fields. Each symposium is made in English and extends at least 2 sessions in a meeting. Symposium titles and organizers of pioneer symposia for upcoming meeting are as follows.

 

1) Frontiers in computational condensed matter physics - topology, correlation, and superconductivity

Time/Room: TBD

[Scope]

Purpose: The aim of this symposium is to provide some of recent notable achievements in condensed matter physics by means of computational approach. In particular, we will discuss the topological material search, new phenomena in correlated electron materials and superconductivity. It will be a useful platform to exchange ideas and to see the recent trend and progress in this field of research.
