International Workshop on
Quantum Phases and Excitations in Quantum Hall Systems

The physics of quantum Hall systems, i.e., 2D electron systems in
strong magnetic fields, remains a most important research
area, which strongly influences the development of contemporary
condensed matter physics. The progress in nanofabrication
technologies keeps bringing fascinating discoveries in the field
of quantum Hall system. In turn, theoretical developments
introduce remarkable concepts characterizing novel srongly
correlated quantum states, quantum statistics of excitations,
quantum interference, disorder, and non-equilibrium phenomena.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together leading experts in
the field, including both experimentalists and theorists
in order to discuss past progress and future
perspectives. Topics will include but are not limited to:
- quantum Hall effect in graphene structures
- quantum Hall interferometry
- manifestations of fractional statistics in strongly correlated fractional quantum Hall states
- paired states of composite fermions and nonabelian quasiparticle
statistics
- quantum Hall effect and quantum computation
- quantum Hall states of Bose-Einstein condensates
- transport properties of coupled edge states
- non-equilibrium properties of quantum Hall systems
- correlated states in bilayer and multiple-valley systems
- spin-related phenomena in quantum Hall systems
- quantum criticality in quantum Hall systems
