This Quantum Materials & Topological Systems session examines quantum phases characterized by nontrivial topology, strong correlations, and emergent quasiparticles. Research focuses on topological insulators, Chern insulators, Weyl and Dirac semimetals, symmetry-protected phases, and platforms supporting Majorana modes. Studies on Berry curvature engineering, anomalous Hall responses, non-Abelian excitations, and quantized transport signatures are central. Moiré superlattices, flat-band systems, and correlated insulating or superconducting phases in twisted heterostructures are included. Emphasis is placed on synthesis routes, ARPES, STM, nonlinear optical probes, and ultrafast excitation dynamics. Theoretical contributions addressing topological classifications, band inversion mechanisms, topology–interaction interplay, and effective Hamiltonian modeling are encouraged.
