Message from Chair

Just as various states of condensed matter emerge from the combinations of a limited number of elements and interactions among
a large number of electrons, new values ​​in condensed matter physics will be created through interactions in the scientific community.
In this analogy the condensed matter crystal can be represented by the DCMP, and the electrons moving around in it are the DCMP members.
The DCMP holds an international conference AC2MP every year, and will promote co-sponsored symposiums and sessions between the DCMP
and each society at local annual meetings. The ultimate goal of this is the establishment of the “open policy” of the annal meetings in AAPPS
member associations. It will be the nice large academic crystal where the researchers are moving around. Then what about the interactions?
The most important and essential interaction is the sharing of information via the DCMP’s website, newsletters, and mailing lists.
We will maintain and drastically strengthen these three functionalities. The increasing opportunities and increasing interactions of the DCMP.
We hope that this will create new values.
