The purpose of 2018 QMS symposium is to provide an opportunity for the international scientific community to discuss new synthesis techniques for bulk materials, thin films and heterostructures and application of advanced characterization probes. The symposium will be focused on transformative questions framed around cutting edge challenges for quantum materials synthesis and fabrication. One of the prime goals for the symposium is to establish innovative and strongly collaborative network between premier research institutions including CIFAR (Canada), EPiQS (USA), IBS (Korea), IOP CAS (China), MPI (Germany), Topo-Q (Japan), and the universities around the world, involved in materials synthesis. The QMS symposium will feature over 50 invited speakers and a poster session. It will bring together more than 300 well known scientists and scholars in the related fields. Companies or publishers are welcome to sponsor the conference and display products during the conference period.
