This award provides support for U.S. participation in the international conference “Topological Quantum Electrons Interacting In-person” to be held July 10 - 16, 2022, at the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science Education (ICISE) in the city of Quy Nhon, Vietnam.This conference will bring together a diverse international group of theorists and experimentalists working in the field of electronic properties of quantum materials. Quantum materials refers to a class of materials for which their principal interesting properties result from unusual states of electronic matter that require quantum mechanical description. They are a consequence of the correlated motion of many electrons acting collectively. Often the relevant electrons are confined to two-dimensions. This conference will highlight recent developments in the study of the properties of novel quantum materials, including topological states of matter, twisted bilayer systems, magnetic materials, transition metal dichalcogenides, superconductors, and quantum phenomena in mesoscopic systems. Technological aspects of these subjects will be covered as well.Motivated by the long period in which in person interactions were disallowed due to the pandemic, the program of the conference will be prepared with in-person participation and an emphasis on highlighting junior participants and their scientific achievements. The conference will commence with a short series of pedagogical lectures by experts in theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum materials. The pedagogical lectures will be aimed at junior researchers to provide them with the necessary background to appreciate the research-level talks to come by leading researchers from across the world. The conference is organized to allow for informal interactions among junior and senior researchers, and cultural exchanges with the participants who will be representative of the global research community, particularly between US-based and Asian-based researchers who may not otherwise have the opportunity for extended interaction or even meet. US based researchers will have the opportunity to present their research and interact with a pool of world leading experts in the field that is difficult to assemble in the US. The NSF supported participants will be selected from a nationwide pool with selection determine by the organizing committee of the conference.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为美国参加将于2022年7月10日至16日在越南归仁市国际跨学科科学教育中心（ICISE）举行的“拓扑量子电子相互作用”国际会议提供支持。本次会议将汇集不同的国际团体理论家和实验家在量子材料的电子特性领域的工作。量子材料指的是一类材料，它们的主要有趣特性来自于需要量子力学描述的电子物质的不寻常状态。它们是许多电子共同作用的相关运动的结果。相关的电子通常局限于二维空间。本次会议将重点介绍新型量子材料性质研究的最新进展，包括物质的拓扑状态、扭曲双层系统、磁性材料、过渡金属二硫族化合物、超导体和介观系统中的量子现象。这些主题的技术方面也将包括在内。由于大流行导致长时间不允许面对面交流，会议计划将以面对面参与的方式编写，重点是突出年轻参与者及其科学成就。会议将以由量子材料理论和实验方面的专家进行的一系列简短的教学讲座开始。教学讲座将针对初级研究人员，为他们提供必要的背景知识，以欣赏来自世界各地的主要研究人员即将进行的研究水平的会谈。组织这次会议是为了让初级和高级研究人员之间进行非正式的互动，并与代表全球研究界的参与者进行文化交流，特别是在美国和亚洲的研究人员之间进行文化交流，否则他们可能没有机会进行更广泛的互动甚至见面。美国的研究人员将有机会展示他们的研究成果，并与在美国难以聚集的该领域的世界领先专家进行互动。NSF支持的参与者将由会议的组织委员会从全国范围内挑选。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
