This winter school will introduce modern themes related to emergent states of electronic matter.

A broad introduction will be given in three basic courses, covering the topics of electronic properties and basic phenomena, experimental studies of spin and charge responses and quantum magnetism.

More specialized courses will cover topological insulators, molecular semiconductors, pnictide superconductors, multiferroics, and a century of superconductivity.

The school is for doctoral and young post-doctoral associates. A background in general solid state physics is sufficient to participate. The courses will be in English.
