Symposium on Quantum Materials: Theory-Simulations, Experiment and Machine Learning
Spetses, Greece. June 7-12, 2020This symposium will bring together more than 40 global experts in the fields of quantum materials (theory, simulations and experiments) and machine learning for an extensive five-day discussion geared towards the advancement of quantum materials research. The symposium will take stock of the ongoing research efforts under the banner of various quantum materials initiatives and device new strategies to leverage the upcoming leap in capability due to proposed exa-scale computing systems, machine learning methods, novel material synthesis and characterization techniques and experimental facilities.
Structured panel discussions will also serve to establish collaborations and brainstorm about future challenges in this domain.
