Non-Equilibrium Quantum Matter
Spin Cavitronics
Mainz, Germany: May 15th - 18th 2018
Cavity (quantum) electrodynamics, originally invented in order to enhance matter-light interaction in atomic physics, has developed into an ubiquitous technique to study condensed matter systems, such as semiconductor quantum dots, diamond NV centers, donor spins in silicon, Josephson-junction qubits, nanomechanical systems, etc. Recently, ferromagnets in cavities have been shown to hybridize with microwaves and (more weakly) with light photons. We observe now the emergence of the interdisciplinary field “Spin Cavitronics” that brings together the optical and microwave cavity communities with researchers from magnetism and spintronics, also involving superconductivity, plasmonics, phononics, mechanics, and AMO groups. The present workshop is intended to facilitate interaction between the leaders of these fields and lure prospective newbies.

06.06.2017 – Workshop on Spin Dynamics in the Dirac Systems
Modern scientific research in condensed matter physics has been marked by a newly perceived role of the quantum nature of a spin in the most basic properties of materials. This breakthrough reflected itself in a new comprehension of fundamental physical symmetries, the concept of the topological classification of the quantum states properties, some of which are close to practical applications.
The aim of the SPICE workshop “Spin Dynamics in Dirac System” is to offer a platform for the knowledge exchange between diverse novel condensed matter domains such as topological insulators and superconductors, Weyl physics, topological Josephson junctions, spintronics in graphene, spin valves, spin-logic devices, quantum magnetism, spin lattices, frustrated magnets, spin liquids, non-trivial spin states, etc.

Network-Meeting SPP2137 Skyrmionics
Mainz, Germany: July 11th 2017
A network meeting will be organized at the University of Mainz on 11 July 2017. The main objectives of this meeting are to provide:
• technical information on the administrational procedures of DFG,
• information on the scientific scope of the SPP and its history,
• information on the groups working in this field with the aim to promote an exchange of ideas and discussions on possible joint proposals.
For organizational reasons groups planning to attend the network meeting are requested to send a short e-mail at their earliest convenience to the organizer of the meeting (Karin Everschor-Sitte) or the coordinator of the SPP (Christian Pfleiderer), indicating also whether they intend to present a poster. Further details on thelocation and program will be announced shortly.

30.05.2017 – Workshop on Non-equilibrium Quantum Matter
In contrast to equilibrium quantum systems, which exist in just a tiny corner of an immense configuration space, non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems can access the totality of configuration space and represent a rich resource for novel quantum states, including light-induced quantum-coherent phases of matter, topological phases and spin textures in solids and cold atom systems. Non-equilibrium many-body quantum dynamics is perhaps the last frontier in physics, where even the basic understanding is still lacking and a number of outstanding fundamental questions are wide open. However, there has been much recent progress in exploring these fundamental aspects on both theoretical and experimental sides.
