TOCHA-Workshop International Workshop "Topological Matter − Applications to Metrology"

The workshop, initiated by the European research project TOCHA, focusses on applications of topological systems for / in metrology, comprising the fields of topological electronics, photonics, and phononics.

The aim is to bring together scientists and groups to present and discuss scientific results, share related knowledge, and to foster interactions within the relevant scientific communities from higher education and metrology. Regarding topological electronics in particular, the application of the quantum anomalous Hall effect for future quantum resistance standards in electrical metrology is of highly topical interest.
