The International Symposium on Quantum Fluids and Solids (QFS2019) was held from August 7 through August 13, 2019. Talks and poster sessions took place in the Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Sciences on the University of Alberta campus in Edmonton, Canada. The program and full details about the conference are available on the QFS2019 Web site: qfs2019.org. This meeting was the 24th in the QFS series of conferences, which are held annually except in years when the QFS community meets as part of the larger International Conferences on Low Temperature Physics (LT conferences). QFS2019 attracted 168 registered participants from 20 different countries. The highest participation came from Japan (36), followed by the USA (33), Canada (30), UK (18), Finland (7), Korea (7), France (6), Germany (5), India (4), Australia (3), Czech Republic (3), Russia (3), and Slovakia (3). There were also 13 registered accompanying persons from five different countries. Conference sponsors included the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), the Department of Physics and the Faculty of Science of the University of Alberta, Oxford Instruments, BlueFors, CryoMech, Agilent, Zurich Instruments, and the Journal of Low Temperature Physics. The conference program was prepared by the local organizing committee consisting of the QFS2019 co-chairs, John Beamish and John P. Davis, together with Lindsay LeBlanc and Joseph Maciejko. Speakers were selected based on input from the QFS2019 International Advisory Committee, which included 30 members of the QFS community from 13 countries. The final program included 43 invited talks plus an additional 17 oral presentations selected from the submitted abstracts. The 60 speakers came from 17 different countries. The talks were supplemented by three poster sessions with a total of 109 poster presentations. From these, an international committee of poster judges selected nine winners of “best poster” awards. The scientific program covered the traditional QFS core topics: superfluid 3He and 4He, 2D films and confined helium, quantum solids, electrons on helium, * John Beamish [email protected] 1

quantum turbulence and vortices, and experimental techniques and devices. The conference also included sessions on related areas of physics, including superfluid optomechanics, cold atoms, topological and quantum Hall systems, and dark matter detection. A satellite half-day workshop on quantum turbulence was organized by Wei Guo and Makoto Tsubota and held at the QFS venue on August 10, with 12 oral pre
