Affiliated QuMat students are welcome at a reduced cost.
More information will come later; stay tuned.
Organization
The chairs of the summer school are Alexander Brinkman and Machteld Kamminga. Practical questions can be addressed to the QuMat office.
Topics
Our school aims to provide students working on Materials for the Quantum Age with a common language that allows experimentalists and theorists to discuss, e.g. topology, materials science, and spintronics across the specializations of their discipline.
The topics are chosen to accomplish this objective.
Topology – To be anounced
Band structure, Berry Curvature, Edge Modes, Classification, Topological invariants.
Chemistry/Materials – Leslie Schoop (Princeton)
Material properties, how to make materials, characterization, what atoms are good for what?
Magnetism, Superconductivity – Michael Wimmer (TU Delft, QuMat)
Magnetic materials, conventional and unconventional magnetism, topological superconductivity, topological vs non-topological magnons.
Experimental techniques – Philip Willke (Karlsruhe)
A look under the hood of STM techniques.
Towards Devices – Marcos Guimarães (Groningen, QuMat)
Light matter interfaces, spintronics.
Societal and Industrial impact – To be announced
Two evening lectures with focus on societal and industrial impact.
