| additional remarks | This seminar provides a overview on a fascinating new class of solid-state materials and a fast growing research area: topological quantum materials. The conceptual application of topology to the classification of solid-state materials revolutionized condensed matter physics in recent years and lead to the discovery of novel topological quantum materials and phases. For example, topologically non-trivial band structures give rise to material properties that are insensitive against external perturbations, which renders topological and quantum materials a promising and robust platform for novel electronic, spin-electronic and quantum optical applications.Possible topics for presentation include, for example, two-dimensional materials and their van der Waals heterostructures, Moire materials, Floquet time crystals, as well as materials and devices for quantum computation with Majorana fermions. |
