The emphasis of this workshop is to highlight current progress and fundamental open questions on a variety of exotic insulating states of matter. The conference will also address quantum transitions to these states from other states of matter, with a special emphasis on systems with interesting topological character.
The workshop will focus on experimental and theoretical developments in the areas of:
- Topological insulators and the stability of their edge and surface
states
- Bose insulating states and the 2D superconductor-insulator quantum
phase transition
- Mott insulators and underdoped high temperature superconductors
- Other
unconventional insulating states of matter
- Other states of
matter related to exotic insulators by duality relations.
