28th International Conference on Low Temperature Physics (LT28)

Conference summary

The International Conference on Low Temperature Physics is an international meeting held every three years, under the auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) through its Commission C5 on Low Temperature Physics. The aim of these conferences is to exchange information and views among the members of the international scientific community in the general field of low temperature physics. It is a tradition that the breadth of scientific research that takes place at low temperatures and makes use of, or contributes to, low temperature physics technologies, finds a commonality in this international conference series. The LT28 conference was organized in this tradition to provide updates on various topics by distinguished researchers in their fields, including plenary and half-plenary talks, invited and contributed oral presentations, and posters. The conference covered five subtopics which have evolved since the last few conferences in this series. These are Quantum fluids and solids, Superconductivity, Cryogenic techniques and applications, Magnetism and quantum phase transitions, and Quantum transport and quantum information.

Gothenburg is situated in the center of Scandinavia, on the Swedish west coast, and is easily accessed by air. The city's two universities, Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg, were the official conference hosts. Both have a long tradition in low temperature physics research, particularly superconductivity, quantum transport, and quantum information.
