Flat band systems have emerged as as a rapidly developing research area in condensed matter physics. From strongly correlated electronic phases to topological phenomena and unconventional superconductivity, flat bands provide a powerful platform for exploring interaction-driven quantum states. This workshop will focus on recent theoretical and experimental advances in flat band physics from the perspective of early-career researchers working in the field.

Once a year, Dresden turns into a vibrant science festival — a place where curiosity meets innovation and research meets society. At this year’s Dresden Science Night, the Würzburg–Dresden Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat – Complexity, Topology and Dynamics in Quantum Matter — invites visitors on a quantum tour packed with moments of discovery. Five program highlights will make our cutting-edge research visible, audible, playable, and open to discussion. Quantum physics can be fun!

This short visit enables new QMA members from the Würzburg side of ct.qmat to get to know the other location, make contacts and explore possible collaborations.

The three-day English-language conference will take place in Dresden from April 15–17, 2026, and offers workshops and coaching sessions. Through discussions with established female professors, participants gain insights into academic career paths. The conference targets female researchers in the qualification phase of DFG-coordinated programs.

The exhibition RETHINKING PHYSICS will conclude on March 10, 2026, with a public IFW colloquium beginning at 2 p.m. Roser Valentí, Professor of Theoretical Solid-State Physics at Goethe University Frankfurt, will deliver a one-hour lecture titled “Rethinking Magnetism: A Perspective.”

deRSE26, the sixth German Conference on Research Software Engineering, will take place at the University of Stuttgart from 3–5 March 2026. The organisers invite contributions in many formats – talks, posters, demos, tutorials, workshops, meet-ups, and hackathons – to showcase the breadth of RSE work. The programme will highlight how software acts as a common language that connects communities and bridges traditional disciplinary boundaries within research.

The PRESTO programs "Quantum Cooperation" and "Quantum Materials" supported by JST, are pleased to announce an international workshop jointly organized with researchers from the German Cluster of Excellence  ctd.qmat. This three-day intensive workshop aims to bring together experts, early-career researchers, and students from diverse fields related to Correlated and Topological Quantum Materials, providing a focused forum to explore cutting-edge topics and recent advances in this rapidly evolving area of research.

In Zwickau we will meet and talk about your projects.

The GHN Colloquium talk series features the female scientists of the Grete Hermann Network (GHN) - an international network of female researchers in condensed matter physics and neighboring research areas to give a lecture on their research and current projects, as well as about their career paths.

This internal ct.qmat network workshop on altermagnets will take place in Würzburg on 11–12 December 2025. The workshop aims to bring our community together in a compact and focused setting to exchange emerging ideas and trends in the field and to explore potential synergies and collaborations among the different ct.qmat groups.

Connect with fellow early-career researchers in quantum science from all over Germany!

Discover what career paths await beyond academia and get first-hand insights into the job market for PhDs and Postdocs in quantum science. In short, inspiring 10-minute talks, alumni from our member institutes will share their personal stories — what it’s like to move from university research to roles in industry or government labs, the challenges they faced, and their best tips for the application process.

A Century of Quantum Mechanics – Time for a Female Perspective!

Our temporal exhibition will be on display at the Closing Event for the Quantum Year 2025 in Münster on November 15, 2025.
