PSSCMP 2023: "Fractionalization, criticality and unconventional quantum materials"
July 10 - July 14, 2023
2023 Program / 2023 Photos
The Princeton Summer School on “Fractionalization, Criticality, and Unconventional Quantum Materials” provided participants with a comprehensive understanding of contemporary quantum materials and their emergent properties in phases of strong electronic correlations or at the brink of phase transitions. 2023 was PSSCMP's 19th year (its inaugural year was 2005), and each year the program aims to foster knowledge exchange to explore the forefront of both theoretical and experimental methods in this rapidly evolving domain. The program is open to both Princeton and non-Princeton graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the sciences. Lectures are of pedagogical aim and the program organization is conducted primarily by Princeton graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Participants apply to present their research during a Poster Session. The 2023 summer school was a hybrid program with the in-person event (90 in-person registered) at Bowen Hall Auditorium, Princeton campus and remote attendees participated via webinar (503 webinar registered).
26 students and postdocs presented their research at a Poster Session on Thurs. July 13. Click here for presenters and poster titles.
Webinar (remote) Registration has CLOSED.
In-Person Registration has CLOSED. Fee for in-person, NO housing: $60 (FREE for Princeton affiliates, please make sure to use your Princeton e-mail for registration). Fee for in-person, WITH*campus housing: $60 plus $400. Click here for Baker Hall Information Sheet.
