(SECUF-2026)
Huairou, Beijing
July 12 - 18, 2026
Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to announce that the 5th Conference on Physics under Synergetic Extreme Conditions and the accompanied Summer School of SECUF, together briefed as SECUF-2026, will be held in Beijing, China from July 12 to 18, 2026. We cordially invite you to participate in SECUF-2026.
The SECUF series of annual conferences and summer schools was firstly launched in 2022, for promoting academic exchange and collaboration on cutting-edge research in condensed matter physics and material science under synergetic extreme conditions. It is based on a newly accomplished user facility - Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility (SECUF) which is located in Huairou, Beijing and is now opening to academic and industrial users in China and world-wide. Previously, SECUF-2022 (online), SECUF-2023 (in person), SECUF-2024 (in person) and SECUF-2025 (in person) were successfully organized, with the participation of hundreds of invited speakers and a large audience.
SECUF-2026 consists of two parts. The first part is a Summer School, which delivers tutorial lectures on fundamental knowledges of researches under extreme physical conditions, together with the introduction of the experimental conditions available in SECUF. The second part is a Conference containing one plenary session and four parallel sessions, for exchanging newest research progresses under extreme physical conditions.
1. SECUF-2026 Sessions
Plenary Session: The conference on physics under synergetic extreme conditions.
Parallel Session 1: Emergent quantum materials and phenomena under high pressure extreme conditions.
Parallel Session 2: Novel physical properties of materials under extreme conditions
Parallel Session 3: Quantum transport in low dimensional materials and quantum devices at ultralow temperatures.
Parallel Session 4: Ultrafast physics and technology.
