Quantum Matter Working Group
Emerging problems in quantum materials
The IMS at LANL is convening a “quantum matter working group” to work on emerging problems in quantum magnetism and frustrated lattices, and simultaneously help define Los Alamos’s agenda on quantum matter for the coming year. We expect to build a fun and creative atmosphere for generating new ideas.
