ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The phenomenon of superconductivity, with its twin properties of zero electricalresistivity and perfect diamagnetism, has fired up the imagination of researchersfor over a century, driven myriad applications, and inspired the imagination of thebroader public. Discovered before the development of quantum mechanics, it has
been a driver of theoretical physics, spawning the development of ideas andtheoretical techniques reaching far beyond the limits of the field. It has also beena major driver of experimental techniques, leading to the development of many of thetools now central to condensed matter physics. The unique properties of superconductors also find their way into both existing applications and many paths to future
devices, from MRI machines to quantum computing.
Since 1988, the Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity (M2S) conference has,
every three years, brought together researchers in condensed matter physics and quantum
mechanics from around the world to share the latest research in the field of superconductivity.
The first conference was held in Interlaken, Switzerland, shortly after the discovery of hightemperature superconductivity by the Nobel Prize winners Johannes Georg Bednorz and Karl
Alexander Muller.
Subsequent meetings have been held in Palo Alto, Kanazawa, Grenoble, Beijing, Houston, Rio deJaneiro, Dresden, Tokyo, Washington, Geneva, and Beijing.
After a globally challenging period, we are pleased to be bringing the M2S conference to Vancouver,
British Columbia (BC), from July 17 - 22, 2022.
The aim of M2S-2022 is to bring together researchers across the full spectrum of activities insuperconductivity, enabling the exchange of ideas, fostering collaborations, and fueling futureresearch. All aspects of research in the field will be represented, including materials development,
advances in theory and experiment, and research aimed at applications, and will span the gamut ofcontemporary topics in the field.
