Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Superconductivity is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The meeting will focus of the latest developments in the field of superconductivity from both experimental and theoretical sides. This will include the electronic structure and Cooper pairing mechanisms of copper oxides, iron pnictides, heavy-fermion, intermetallics, and organic compounds; the interplay between superconductivity and competing order; non-equilibrium superconductivity; and the physics of low-dimensional, nanoscopic, and topological superconductors.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Superconductivity" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
