Drawing around 140 attendees to the serene hills of Tuscany, Italy, February’s Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Ultrafast Phenomena in Cooperative Systems explored recent advances in the understanding of light-induced phases of condensed matter.
Operational SummaryThe Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Correlated Electron Systems were held at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts from June 25-July 1, 2022.The meeting covered a variety of scientific topics and the content presented was highly rated by participants. Conference ParticipantsThe Conference was well-attended with 193 participants.Scientists from academia represented 97% of the participants while attendees from government accounted for 2% and those from industry totaled 1%.The meeting also attracted a strong mix of young investigators and senior scientists.Students and post-docs accounted for 70% of all attendees.Approximately 24% of the participants at the 2022 meeting were women. Seminar ParticipantsThe Seminar was well-attended with 82 participants.Students and post docs combined accounted for 97% of all attendees.Approximately 22% of the participants at the 2022 seminar were women. Conference ProgramThe major theme of this conference was to understand how the confluence of strong interactions, topology and symmetry lead to new states of matter with novel properties.For example, quantum spin liquids have no long-range 2 29 10
The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Gordon Research Conference on Quantum Control of Light and Matter -August 3-8, 2003 was held at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA, August 3-8, 2003.The Conference was well-attended with 126 participants (attendees list attached).The attendees represented the spectrum of endeavor in this field coming from academia, industry, and government laboratories, both U.S. and foreign scientists, senior researchers, young investigators, and students.In designing the formal speakers program, emphasis was placed on current unpublished research and discussion of the future target areas in this field.There was a conscious effort to stimulate lively discussion about the key issues in the field today.Time for formal presentations was limited in the interest of group discussions.In order that more scientists could communicate their most recent results, poster presentation time was scheduled.Attached is a copy of the formal schedule and speaker program and the poster program.In addition to these formal interactions, "free time" was scheduled to allow informal discussions.Such discussions are fostering new collaborations and joint efforts in the field.I want to personally thank you for your support of this Conference.As you know, in the interest of promoting the presentation of unpublished and frontierbreaking research, Gordon
The 2012 Gordon Conference on Correlated Electron Systems will present cutting-edge research on emergent properties arising from strong electronic correlations. While we expect the discussion at the meeting to be wide-ranging, given the breadth of the title subject matter, we have chosen several topics to be the particular focus of the talks. These are New Developments in Single and Bilayer Graphene, Topological States of Matter, including Topological Insulators and Spin Liquids, the Interplay Between Magnetism and Unconventional Superconductivity, and Quantum Critical Phenomena in Metallic Systems. We also plan to have shorter sessions on Systems Far From Equilibrium, Low Dimensional Electron Fluids, and New Directions (which will primarily focus on new experimental methodologies and their interpretation).
