Symposium QT02-Advanced Quantum Magnets and Related Technologies Toward Energy-Efficient Computing

Quantum magnetism has recently seen numerous advances including both the discovery of new material platforms as well as magnetic phases controllable through external stimuli, holding promise for enabling potential quantum technologies (QTs). We aim to convene a diverse range of leading scientists in the field with broad perspectives offering a platform for disseminating and discussing the latest developments in the area of quantum magnetism, energy-efficient computing, and novel applications in QTs. The symposium aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of experts in several aspects of quantum materials, device implementations, and novel computing approaches. These will include high-caliber experimentalists, device engineers, material scientists, theoreticians, and material informatics specialists. With a mix of invited and joint keynote speakers including junior and emerging scientists, the symposium will capture recent and exciting developments, exposing the audience to the frontiers of advanced quantum materials and technologies.

Topics will include:

  • Linking quantum technologies (QTs) to low-dimensional magnets
  • Energy efficient quantum magnets and their applications
  • Quantum magnetism, floquet engineering, and twisted platforms (e.g., moiré superlattices)
  • Spin-based quantum sensing (e.g., NV microscopy), topology and correlation in strongly interacting compounds
  • Recent frontiers in magnetometry, Lorentz TEM, MOKE, NV-Center microscopy, nano-SQUID
  • Ultrafast magnetization dynamics via optical and current excitations
