Introduction

The International Workshop for Surfaces and Interfaces of Quantum Materials will be held on June 24-25, 2021 in Beijing, China. It is hosted by the State Key Laboratory for Surface Physics at the Institute of Physics (IOP), Chinese Academy of Sciences. 

The workshop is in the series of the annual workshop on low-dimensional functional materials from 2012initiated by the original executive members, Professors Jiandong Guo and Kuijuan Jin from IOP, E. W. Plummer and Jiandi Zhang from Louisiana State University.

This year, the scientific topics of the workshop will focus on, but not limited to the novel quantum phenomena on the surfaces or interfaces of transition metal compounds, including the design, characterization, tuning, and the understanding of the underlying physics. Besides scientific talks, we will exchange our research ideas in an attempt to foster future collaborations.
