Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden
Scope
This Heraeus binational meeting will address the research frontier created when joining the concepts of quantum geometry with unconventional superconductivity. The theory of superconductivity and superconducting quantum devices has a long tradition in northern and central Europe. Strong activities are also now present in topology and quantum geometry. However, this field is currently somewhat fragmented due to historical reasons. The idea of a bilateral Germany-Nordic seminar would be to set up a seminar program around these topics, bringing together various strands and providing a discussion forum for the latest developments in unconventional superconductivity and quantum condensates tied together with topology and quantum geometry, which would then have a lasting impact on research.

Preliminary program
We envision a program that spans three days and includes an additional tutorial day before the actual program starts. For the latter we aim at having three tutorials giving insight into three relevant theoretical methods, see speaker list. The tutorial day will include hands-on demonstrations of numerical techniques and an exercise session to practice the content. For the seminar, each day will consist of a number of keynote and topical presentations. The keynotes (35 + 10 min) are aimed to give an overview of our main topics, while the topical (20 + 5 min) are more specialized and focused of selected topics. We will also have a set of presentations, short talks or posters by early career scientists. Two open colloquia within the Niels Bohr colloquium series of Nordita will be integrated into the program on day 1 and 3. An extensive poster session will be organized around the colloquia.
