Two-dimensional and Disordered Superconductors (TIDES)

We invite researchers to take part in a two-week program focused on understanding the role of disorder in 2D superconductors and its impact on quantum devices. The event will bring together the 2D materials and the superconductor-to-insulator transition (SIT) communities to exchange expertise, build a shared knowledge base, and encourage collaboration. Week 1 will feature lectures and tutorials for researchers in the field as well as for PhD students and newcomers, providing a clear introduction to the main open questions in both fields. Week 2 will be a workshop with expert talks and daily panel discussions on topics such as topological superconductivity, the nature of 2D metals and superconductors, the role of fluctuations, and out-of-equilibrium properties. By combining insights from both communities, the program aims to clarify how disorder shapes 2D materials and to identify promising directions for future research and applications.
