This workshop will examine and discuss the recent theoretical, computational, and experimental discoveries and challenges in the area of Dirac and Weyl materials. Recent progress in the field of Dirac and Weyl materials has been taking the field of quantum materials in new directions. We now witness a rapid adoption of concepts of Dirac and Weyl materials in diverse fields of materials science and physics including semimetals, cold atoms, as well as systems hosting bosonic and magnetic excitations with nodal structures. We also see new experimental realizations of artificial Dirac and Weyl materials based on the intercalation of heterostructures. An important development in the field is the new ideas on time dynamics of quantum and Dirac materials that open up possibilities of temporal control of these materials.
The overall purpose and goal of this workshop is to bring together the researchers to share the most recent and exciting ideas and results in the rapidly evolving field of Dirac and Weyl materials.
