The Condensed Matter and Quantum Materials (CMQM) series is home to the UK condensed matter physics community and offers a community-focussed meeting covering a wide range of topics and emerging fields, ranging from solid state and materials physics to many-body effects and quantum simulation. The conference is supported by a number of Institute of Physics groups and aims to bring together scientists and PhD students with diverse interests including exotic electronic and magnetic phenomena in solids, 2D materials, quantum simulators, new materials, superconductivity, characterisation techniques and devices.

The ICMFS2024 is a satellite conference to the 22nd International Conference on Magnetism to be held from June 30 to July 5 2024 in Bologna, Italy, just 237 km north of Perugia (www.icm2024.org). The ICMFS2024 continues the tradition of previous Colloquia, which started in 1964 in London, UK. This is the first time the Conference is held in Italy. Pursuing the idea of free circulation of scientists, the ICMFS2024 will bring together scientists from all areas of magnetism in lower dimensions. The Colloquium aims at the exchange of new results and ideas for advancing the field of magnetism at surfaces, interfaces, in micro- and nanostructures as well as of spin-dependent phenomena.

Machine Learning methods have recently found widespread use in areas of atomistic modelling, mainly focusing on developing surrogate models for the potential energy surface with superior computational efficiency while retaining first principles accuracy. However, approaches to learning observable properties directly are just emerging and are challenged by several issues, which we intend to address in the workshop. The event is meant to support the development of a new collaborative, international network connecting different fields of research and integrating the young researchers community with the help of a scientifically diverse, interactive workshop.

This symposium brings together mathematicians, computer scientists, chemists and physicist to address a truly multidisciplinary issue of enabling large-scale atomistically-resolved, ab initio materials modeling. Such modeling capabilities are required for understanding and rational design of materials ranging from alloys to solid electrolytes for fuel cells. There is a substantial gap in theory and computing techniques which on one hand would be able to model phenomena intrinsically requiring models with millions of atoms and on the other hand provide accuracy and insight which is today routinely achievable only for unrealistically small model systems . This is a gap between a model and a reality. To bridge it, this symposium makes brains from different research fields pull in one direction. Progress that this symposium will help accelerate will mean better computational support for the development of functional materials, with more of the development moved from time-, manpower-, and $-costly lab experimentation to in-silico design.

Each year the Symposium highlights the fast evolving and diverse nature of soft matter science and related areas of statistical physics. These fields relate to many industrial and biological systems and can involve a wide range of disciplines. The science area has led to many materials and processes for industry and commerce while also posing new fundamental problems. The Symposium continues to build on Sir Sam’s realization that broad classes of system are governed by unifying physical principles, arising from the geometry, topology or other qualitative behaviour of their underlying constituents.

Emergent phenomena are the essence of condensed-matter physics and at the same time what makes the behavior of correlated materials appealing for applications. They are, however, hard to understand at a fundamental level. It is the interplay of several competing interactions — none of which can be treated as a mere perturbation, leading to the emergence of effective interactions — that makes their description a grand challenge. Addressing this problem requires mastery of a wide spectrum of theoretical concepts, ranging from materials modeling using first-principles approaches to advanced many-body methods based on dynamical mean-fields, stochastic simulations and renormalization techniques. The concepts of symmetry, topological invariance and the classification of transitions between phases are of crucial importance to bring order to the plethora of observed phenomena.

The goal of this year’s school is to provide students with an overview of the state-of-the-art in the field of emergent phases in strongly correlated systems and the many techniques used to investigate them. The program will start with fundamental models and concepts, introducing the Hubbard and Anderson Hamiltonians and their physics, and providing an overview of field-theoretical aspects of condensed-matter physics. More advanced lectures will introduce symmetries, Berry phases and topological quantum matter. The focus will then turn to emergent phenomena: superconductivity, conventional and non-conventional, Kondo and heavy-fermion behavior, Kosterlitz-Thouless transitions, Mott phases, orbital-ordering, and quantum phase transitions. The topics will be treated both from the view point of simple models and that of real materials, with an outlook on materials design from the theoretical and experimental viewpoint. The theoretical approaches covered will go from density-functional-theory-based methods to dynamical mean-field theory and quantum Monte Carlo. Experimental lectures will cover phenomena under normal and extreme conditions.

Active matter explores collective phenomena that emerge from energy-consuming components interacting with each other and their environment. Great strides have been made in understanding the surprising behavior of active fluids, from spontaneous flow to flocking to condensation with no attractive interactions, demonstrating the relevance of the active matter paradigm to systems as diverse as collections of living organisms, cell assemblies, the cell interior, and synthetically engineered materials. A recent new direction for the field has been the study and engineering of active solids - elastically coupled networks where active energy input allows for actuation and shape changes not possible in equilibrium. This conference will bring together scientists working across active matter and related disciplines, including hydrodynamic and elastic theories of active matter, living matter, classical and quantum materials far from equilibrium, and animate matter, to study the behavior of a broad range of active solids, from active hydrogels to metamaterials to mechanical structures composed of linked robotic components. It will aim to connect these distinct branches, find overarching principles that span these fields, and identify areas for future breakthroughs.

Elementary excitations and quasi-particles within condensed matter exhibit a diverse array of physical attributes, encompassing spin and orbital angular momenta, electric dipole moments, and their respective higher-order multipoles. Over recent decades, investigations into the generation, detection, manipulation, and transportation of these quantities have developed into the interdisciplinary field known as “X-tronics”, where ‘X’ embodies a degree of freedom or informational carrier inherent to quasi-particles, such as spin, orbital, phonon, magnon, or photon.

Over the past ten years tremendous progress has been achieved in quantum field theory thanks to the realization that symmetries can be interpreted in terms of the action of topological defects on the space of operators. This gives a generalization of the notion of symmetries, explicitly realized in many instances exploiting Lagrangian field theory techniques, uncovering a rich and unexpected landscape of physical effects in condensed matter, high energy physics, and quantum gravity. This conference will bring together the major experts in the subject, and strives to be an opportunity for participants to quickly get up to speed with the most recent advances and open problems in the field.
