Mapping a Landscape of Novel Unexpected States

The GRS will precede the GRC, and as a preparation, focus on the same research themes as the GRC. Like many other events, our Gordon Research Seminar has been severely delayed by the unexpected pandemic. Although COVID-19 may have hindered face-to-face communication, it could not impede scientific progress in this field, and we are excited to resume our in-person meeting. A major goal of this seminar is to highlight and celebrate the latest progress and insights in the novel topological and correlated matter, such as artificially designed moire systems built with twisted graphene or transition metal dichalcogenide layers, non-Hermitian and Floquet systems, topological magnetic materials, and axion insulators.
