Overview

The International Conference on Asymmetric Quantum Matters (Asymmetry 2026) will be held at Osaka University Hall from September 24 to 26, 2026.

This meeting will serve as a satellite conference of the International Conference on Strongly Correlated Electron Systems (SCES 2026), which will take place in Toyama from September 27 to October 2, 2026.

Located approximately four hours by train from Toyama, Osaka University offers an ideal venue to explore the latest progress in the field of asymmetric and correlated quantum phenomena just before the main SCES conference.

• Development of Novel and Archetypal Asymmetric Quantum Matters
• Fundamental Theories and Theoretical Design
• Exploring Novel Functionalities
• Probing Microscopic Properties of Asymmetric Quantum Matters

If you plan to participate in both Asymmetry 2026 and SCES 2026, we recommend securing your travel schedule in advance to allow for smooth coordination between the two meetings.

Registration

The registration desk (open from 8:30 a.m. on Sep. 24th) will be located near the entrance of Osaka University Hall. Please pick up your name tag at the registration desk upon arrival.
