Remit and Audience:

Condensed Matter Physics in the City 2023 (CMPCity 2023) is scheduled to take place in central London premises this coming July under the heading “Quantum Materials: Information and Technology”, with the goal of creating new cross-disciplinary synergies between quantum materials and entanglement-based theoretical based approaches to quantum matter, and rapidly growing quantum technologies.

This CMPCity series is organised annually by the Hubbard Theory Consortium (formed by Imperial College London, University College London, the University of Kent and Royal Holloway University of London).

Join the discussion on twitter under our conference hashtag #cmpcity2023.

Dates:

Monday 10 July – Friday 14 July 2023.

Registration:

Registration is now open. Please see the registration page for further information.

Schedule:

History of the meeting:

Condensed Matter Physics in the City is run by the Hubbard Theory Consortium, as one of its flagship activities since its foundation in 2010.

The Hubbard Theory Consortium brings together condensed matter groups throughout southeast England, including the groups at Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL), the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Harwell (including the ISIS Facilities and the Diamond Light Source), the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) at University College London, the University of Kent, and Imperial College London.
