Scope:
After the discovery and development of
topological insulators and superconductors, many of the new wave propagation
phenomena found in materials science and device physics have been identified
and understood through new degrees of freedom based on topological invariants.
The purpose of this symposium is to
bring together researchers conducting research from a topological perspective
in various fields, including natural sciences and engineering, and to share
their latest research.
Topics covered in the presentations are
expected from (but not limited to) the fields of i)
acoustics/phononics/mechanics, ii) photonics/optics/plasmonics,
iii) topological insulators, iv) spintronics and magnonics,
v) topological superconductors, vi) soft and biological matters.
