Scope:

The International Workshop on Superconducting Nanostructures and Quantum Materials aims to present a comprehensive overview of recent advances in superconducting quantum materials and nanoscale superconducting systems, with particular emphasis on their fundamental properties and emergent phenomena.

The workshop seeks to bring together researchers from a range of closely connected and rapidly evolving fields. The closely connected topics (listed below) form a fertile ground for interaction between theory, numerical modeling, and experiment.

The scientific scope spans fundamental theoretical, numerical, and experimental investigations of superconducting and hybrid (nano-)structures, focusing on topology, vortex physics, and quantum coherence in tunable systems, and offering potential impact on future superconducting device concepts and quantum-information technologies.

Hosted in the Netherlands, with the University of Twente as an active hub in superconducting quantum materials and quantum technologies, strongly supported by the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology, the workshop offers an excellent opportunity for scientific exchange and collaboration within the European and international quantum-materials community.

Topics:

Topological and unconventional superconductivity

• Triplet pairing and spin-polarized superconductivity in Rashba systems, ferromagnetic hybrids, and oxide interfaces (e.g., LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃)
• Topological superconductivity in Dirac/Weyl semimetals (Cd₃As₂, WTe₂), topological insulators (Bi₂Se₃ family), and proximitized nanowires (InAs, InSb)

Magnetic and superconducting engineered devices

• Phase-engineered Josephson junctions (π, φ, φ₀ states) in superconductor–ferromagnet and spin–orbit coupled heterostructures (e.g., S/F/S, S/TI/S, S/semiconductor/S)
• Magnetic–superconducting hybrids with conventional superconductors (Nb, Al)

Low-dimensional and disordered superconductors

• Superconductivity in low-carrier-density and 2D materials (SrTiO₃, MoS₂, twisted bilayer graphene, NbSe₂ and other dichalcogenides, misfit systems)
• Flat-band systems
• Surface superconductivity (Fermi arcs and superconductivity in t-PtBi2)

Quantum devices and coherence

• Thin and ultra-thin film superconductors, SIT
• Superfluid stiffness and kinetic inductance in low-dimensional superconductors

IMPORTANT DATES:

• Speakers suggestions and abstract submission open until the 20th April.
• Full participants list closed on the 30th April, with information about support by COST.
• Submission of final abstracts for the program book on 25 May.
