The QFS conference began in 1975, and since 1997 its location alternates between Asia, Europe, and N. America. The QFS2021 continued this tradition, bringing the conference to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India in 2021.
QFS topics pertain to macroscopic quantum phenomena, with a focus on liquid and solid helium, while also including other related systems, such as cold atoms. This series of meetings plays a crucial role by regularly bringing together the entire quantum fluids and solids research community and discuss the latest developments. The synergy between traditional and new research areas is encouraged and has strong tradition of including PhD students and postdoctoral fellows.
