The workshop will explore situations in which non-equilibrium setups can provide information about many-body systems that cannot be accessed in conventional (linear-response based) probes. Systems of particular interest are materials with strongly competing or frustrated (by disorder, relativistic corrections or geometrical constrains) interactions, or those under extreme quantum conditions (traditionally, very low temperatures and/or very high magnetic fields). These circumstances favor the formation of phases characterized by some sort of topological order, revealing highly entangled ground states and exotic, but experimentally elusive, excitations. Topology provides also the unifying framework to describe the emergence of quantum coherence at the macroscopic scale. These current efforts in solid state goes hand by hand with the design and large-scale control of new types of synthetic quantum matter in driven optical and atomic systems. With this multidisciplinary philosophy in mind, the workshop aims to bring together researchers with expertise in frustrated magnetism, mesoscopic physics (including the quantum Hall effect, Weyl/Dirac semimetals, layered semiconductors and spintronic interfaces), cold atoms, and optical cavities.

An entire suite of novel Neuromorphic computational paradigms, taking inspiration from the functional properties of the brain, has emerged over the past two decades to address the need to efficiently process and analyze the exponential amount of data produced in our Information Age. Research on neural networks, reservoir computers and Boltzmann machines, has demonstrated that it is possible to perform complex computational tasks such as image and pattern recognition at a level comparable to that of a human. All proof-of-concepts have however relied mostly on digital implementations of their respective computational scheme. Whereas this has justified the importance of such techniques, their implementation into scalable and energy efficient analog electronic devices is still much of an open problem. The workshop “Spintronics meets Neuromorphics” aims to show how the challenges posed by neuromorphic computing paradigms can be addressed effectively with spintronics. The low-current tunability, thermal susceptibility and rich dynamics of magnetic thin-film heterostructures offer an ideal toolbox for implementing novel neuromorphic devices. Furthermore, progress in their material science guarantees that promising proof-of-concepts will have a high chance of proving scalable enough to afford industrial production.
The workshop “Spintronics meets Neuromorphics” will bring together leaders of these interdisciplinary fields to facilitate their interaction to the exciting prospects of this emerging scientific landscape. This very young field of bioinspired computing in spintronics lies at the intersection of cutting edge condensed matter physics and advances in artificial intelligence. Recent studies have shown the potential for merging spintronics with the concepts developed neuromorphics. This direction is ideal for creating new paths towards novel computational paradigms and devices. The workshop plans to cover the following topics: Artificial neural networks non-linear dynamics in the brain, brain waves, reservoir computing, associative memories and stochastic computing.

Exotic New States in Superconducting Devices: The Age of the Interface
Superconducting material such as a ferromagnet, a topological insulator or a semiconductor, a range of electronic states can be induced which are radically different from either constituent material. To be able to probe these states requires a broad range of expertise, spanning basic materials science to fundamental physics modeling of interfaces and transport behaviour. At this meeting we have the opportunity to bring together scientists working on distinct and overlapping areas, such as superconductivity, magnetism, topological materials, quantum computing, and spin-electronics. This science community will have an opportunity to appreciate how these different transport phenomena are linked conceptually and thereby stimulate further understanding particularly with respect to realising useful devices with unique properties for spin-electronics and quantum computing.

The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers from the communities of condensed matter, statistical physics, quantum optics and atomic physics with the aim of discussing quantum effects on transport and thermodynamics. The following topics will be covered: quantum heat and work, time-dependent drivings, thermoelectrics, quantum fluctuations, coherence and entanglement. The meeting will contribute to the understanding of fundamental properties of quantum matter out of equilibrium as well as to the development of novel nanodevices.

Antiferromagnetic Spintronics
Grenoble, France: October 25th – 27th 2017
Antiferromagnetic materials could represent the future of spintronics thanks to the numerous features they combine: they are robust against perturbation due to magnetic fields, produce no stray fields, display ultrafast dynamics and generate large magnetotransport effects. Research efforts invested in unraveling spin-dependent transport properties of antiferromagnets will be presented and discussed in this workshop.

Joint European Magnetic Symposia 2018
Mainz, Germany: September 3rd - 7th 2018
The Joint European Magnetic Symposia (JEMS) is the premiere and most comprehensive conference on magnetism in Europe, organized in coordination with the European Magnetism Association (EMA). The next symposia will take place from the 3rd to the 7th of September 2018 at the conference center Rheingoldhalle in Mainz, Germany.
JEMS covers a wide breadth of cutting-edge topics in magnetism and magnetic materials research, ranging from the fundamental to the applied. The topics cut across the entire field of magnetism, such as biomangetism applications, chiral magnetism and skyrmions, multiferroics, strongly correlated systems, topological magnetic materials, ultrafast optical spintronics, and magnonics.
The conference incorporates plenary and semi-plenary talks from internationally renowned speakers, representing the latest advances in magnetism. Attendees are also able to contribute to specific symposia through talks and poster sessions focused on their research topics.
Mainz and the Rheinpfalz region are important centers of magnetism research in Germany. The Kaiserslautern-Mainz collaborative center SPIN+X and the Spin Phenomena Interdisciplinary Center (SPICE) lead many of these efforts.
The organizing committee of JEMS 2018 is looking forward to welcoming you to Mainz!
