The international workshop on Emergent Phenomena of Quantum Hall Systems-2 (EPQHS2) will be held at The Pennsylvania State University, June 13-16, 2007. The year 2007 also coincides with the 25th anniversary of the publication of the fractional quantum Hall effect discovery paper. The first workshop of this series was held at Taos, NM, in 2005.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading scientists and young researchers working on emergent collective phenomena in low-dimensional electronic systems at high magnetic fields. The workshop intends to focus on the exciting recent developments and promising future directions in quantum Hall effect, a field that continues to remain one of the frontier areas of research in condensed matter physics. Some topics of the workshop are Bose-Einstein condensation in bilayer systems, fractional abelian and nonabelian statistics, quantum computation, QHE in graphene, second-generation composite fermion states, microwave radiation induced zero-resistance state, QHE-like physics in cold atoms, novel excitations, edge Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid, etc. The focus will be on fundamental concepts and new research directions. Ample time will be provided for lively discussions.

The workshop is supported in part by I2CAM (International Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter) and The Pennsylvania State University.

The registration fee will be $150 per person, which will cover coffee and snacks at the breaks between talks, and dinner and wine/alcohol at the workshop banquet on June 14, 2007. Some financial support toward travel and other expenses will be provided for the invited participants (the exact amount will be known somewhat later). The registration fee will be collected at the conference (checks, cash, Visa or MasterCard will be accepted).
