Recently, there has been growing interest in novel quantum effects on charge and spin transports in low-dimensional mesoscopic/condensed matter systems. In particular, quantum transport at nano-scales shows many interesting phenomena, such as: Luttinger physics in 1-dimensional
dissipative nanowires, exotic 2-channel Kondo effect in magnetically doped graphene, exotic spin and charge transport in the helical edge states of 2D topological insulators/ quantum spin Hall insulators. Understanding the above new physics has great importance not only in the fundamental research but also in technological applications in making new electronic devices.
In this workshop, we bring domestic and international experts together to discuss recent progress in the above topics. The goals are to encourage collaborations among the experts, and to introduce this exciting new
research field to students and young researchers participating in this workshop.
