Underpinning modern quantum materials research is the extent to which quantum degrees of freedom can be understood and manipulated in a controlled fashion. In this light, both long-range ordered and fluctuating magnetic systems offer pathways for next-generation quantum technologies. On one end of the spectrum, novel ordered and textured states such as altermagnets, skyrmions, and multiferroics leverage symmetries and topology to generate robust transport and ultra-fast spin dynamics ideal for spintronics and quantum devices. On the other end, frustrated magnets and quantum spin liquids harness extreme quantum fluctuations to suppress static magnetic order, giving rise to long-range entanglement, topological order and fractionalized excitations. Across this broad landscape, the multifaceted nature of spin provides a foundation for emerging technologies, ranging from spintronic devices to quantum computing architectures. Building on this perspective, the workshop aims to connect fundamental advances in quantum magnetism with new functionalities and cutting edge quantum technologies.

This workshop will bring together young leaders in fields across this spectrum to interrogate new pathways for the design, characterization and control of novel magnetic systems. By including participants from both academia and industry, we hope to strengthen connections between fundamental research and technological development. Beyond presenting cutting-edge research, we hope to generate open discussion that will identify new avenues of research, and that will promote future scientific collaboration.
