Condensed Matter Physics in the City (CMPCity 2025)

The Condensed Matter Physics in the City 2025 (CMPCity 2025) is scheduled to take place in London at University College London from the 16th to the 20th of June 2025, under this year's heading of "Unconventional, Topological and Dynamical Order in Quantum Materials". The heading draws on new developments with the goal of creating cross-disciplinary synergies between the latest developments in theory, experiment and computational approaches to quantum matter.

The meeting will showcase recent and extraordinary experimental discoveries, such as the fractional quantum Hall effect in the absence of a field in twisted bilayer MoTe2, developments in new flat band material families, and the exotic superconductivity of UTe2, with chiral edge states and a colossal upper critical field, among others.

The CMPCity series is organised annually by the Hubbard Theory Consortium formed by Imperial College London, University College London, the University of Kent, and Royal Holloway, University of London.

History of the Meeting

Condensed Matter Physics in the City is run by the Hubbard Theory Consortium, as one of its annual flagship activities since its foundation in 2010.

The Hubbard Theory Consortium brings condensed matter groups throughout the South East of England, including groups at Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL), the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Harwell (including the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, and Diamond Light Source facilities), the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) at University College London, the University of Kent, and Imperial College London.
