Interfaces are of interest not only in theoretical physics, such as condensed matter physics, high-energy physics, and quantum information, but also in mathematics. However, they have developed uniquely across different fields, making it challenging to grasp their full scope. Against this backdrop, this workshop aims to bring together experts from these disparate fields to share developments related to the study of interfaces, and to find new approaches and applications for interfaces from a fusion perspective.

Fundamental symmetry breaking is important to understanding the formation of our universe including baryogenesis and the homochirality of living organisms. It plays an important role in finding a more complete theory than the Standard Model of particle physics. In recent years, molecules have become a leading platform to search for such symmetry breakings through precision metrology as they exhibit enhanced sensitivity and in particular, their many degrees of freedom can be leveraged to isolate violations of fundamental symmetries from the background. However, in recent years, the molecular precision spectroscopy community has become focused on simultaneous parity and time reversal symmetry violation, overlooking the equal importance of time-reversal symmetry even, parity violating effects. For example, despite its prediction in the 1960s, the parity violating energy difference between mirror-images of chiral molecules is yet to be observed, which is crucial for our understanding of molecular chirality. Only recently several individual works rediscovered the unique opportunities of molecular parity violation, indicating even its undiscovered potential in revealing new physics. Moreover, recent advancements in molecular quantum control and molecular theory may bring the detection of molecular parity violation now in reach for the first time. This workshop will use the momentum of these recent advances to refocus the attention on molecular parity violation experiments and foster collaboration in the field.

The Heraeus workshop “Topology and geometry: Novel concepts in 3D quantum transport on the mesoscale” explores charge transport in mesoscale systems where conventional Ohmic scaling breaks down. As device dimensions shrink and materials complexity grows, transport becomes governed by a rich interplay of geometry, topology, and many-body interactions. We aim to unify perspectives across three key areas: (1) topological transport shaped by quantum geometry and Berry curvature, (2) semiclassical and quantum transport under high magnetic fields, and (3) strongly correlated electron dynamics including hydrodynamic flow and quantum criticality. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying how disparate length scales—mean free path, magnetic length, and correlation length—conspire to shape transport in modern materials. The workshop will foster cross-disciplinary exchange between condensed matter physics, materials chemistry, and device theory.

Technological breakthroughs in the energy transition hinge on finding earth‐abundant materials that can convert between electricity and chemical bond energy at a faster rate for a prolonged lifetime. This mission can only be accomplished with a fundamental understanding of the solid/liquid interfaces, also known as the electrical double layer (EDL), at which most important conversion processes occur. However, we are struggling with precise measurement and high‐fidelity modeling of basic thermodynamic quantities, notably the capacitance, entropy and surface stress, of EDL. It is thus imperative to bring together scientists with a wide range of expertise in experiments (single‐crystal preparation and characterization, electrochemical impedance, microcalorimetry, etc) and theory (continuum theory, molecular dynamics simulation, density functional theory, machine learning potentials) to discuss these specific topics in a level of depth greater than that in regular scientific meetings and conferences.

The ferroic state, i.e., the property of matter to spontaneously organize itself magnetically, electrically or elastically, is one of the most fascinating phenomena in nature and is also extremely relevant for technological applications, ranging from energy conversion to unconventional computing. A paradigm shift is currently taking place in the field of ferroics research. New types of ferroic order are discovered and a new understanding of how a ferroic state is defined is emerging. New concomitant phenomena and applications, which often result from the topological properties of such ferroic states, are being researched. Novel imaging techniques for ferroic states, in particular in three dimensions, are being developed. The aim of the seminar is to bring structure to the current progress in the field of ferroic ordering and imaging techniques, and thereby promote a coherent and synergetic development of the research field.

In the last few years, van der Waals heterostructures have emerged as a very versatile platform for engineering complex correlated electronic phases. In this sense, they represent an alternative, solid state-based route to simulation of quantum many-body physics, complementing other approaches such as cold atomic systems. The goal of the workshop “Simulating quantum matter with quantum matter” is to bring together leading experts in the field of van der Waals heterostructures in order to scrutinize which questions in correlated matter have been successfully addressed, to discuss the current challenges, and future directions to go. The talks will be organized into four strongly intertwined topics – superconductivity, magnetism, topology, and quantum criticality – and a significant time will be reserved for guided and informal discussions. We anticipate writing a roadmap article with all participants, which will provide an overview of the status of the field, the leading results, and open questions.

Self-driven or active polymers and filaments are ubiquitous in biology across length scales, from chromatin in the nucleus to cytoskeletal filaments such as actin and microtubules, and from motile filamentous cyanobacteria to macroscopic worms. Inspired by these systems, synthetic analogs such as biomimetic robotic worms and robotic grippers or active materials based on cytoskeletal filaments have been developed. These systems display diverse structural and dynamic behaviors, both individually and collectively: examples include spiral and helical conformations, vortex formation in motor-driven microtubules, coexisting ordered states in actin-myosin networks, morphogenesis of cyanobacterial colonies during blooms, dynamical neural-motor loops in C. elegans, and emergent collective locomotion in worm blobs.

This workshop will bring together leading scientists from multiple fields to identify common features of active filament systems, clarify the mechanisms driving their self-organization, and define overarching open questions.

Geometrical confinement is relevant to various disciplines, ranging from the natural sciences via the life sciences to the material science field. Confinement effects have far-reaching influences. They shape efficient hydrodynamic flows, deepen the understanding of biological processes, advance carbon capture technologies, and provide new chemical reactivities. So far, much of the research has focused on demonstrating the importance of confinement in physical and chemical systems while neglecting the fundamental principles that govern these effects. Thus, not much is known about how and why exactly confinement effects modulate key physical phenomena, alter reactivities, or change product selectivity and material properties. As a result, essential questions remain unanswered — what are the underlying physical mechanisms at play in confinement, and how do they alter atomic interactions and influence dynamical properties?
