The 21st century digital economy and technology is presently facing fundamental scaling limits (heating and the superparamagnetic limit) as well as societal challenges: the move to mobile devices and the increasing demand of cloud storage leads to an enormous increase in energy consumption of our ICT infrastructure. These developments require new strategies and paradigm shifts, such as spin-based technologies and the introduction of photonic processors. Currently, photons are used for information transport, electrons for processing and spins for storage. Future developments will require integration of these separate technologies. Spintronic or spin-based memory such as Spin-torque transfer magnetic Random Access Memory (STT-RAM) is one concept that may revolutionize memory technology. The ability to control spins and macroscopic magnetic ordering by means of femtosecond laser pulses provides an alternative and energy efficient approach to magnetic recording. But this will only provide a novel and energy efficient alternative to current data storage if spintronics can be integrated with photonics. Such integration may also allow faster spin logic. Antiferromagnetic materials may provide another alternative for fast spintronics, but there are still many challenges. In this workshop we want to discuss recent developments in this exciting field as well as the challenges that lay ahead.

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.

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.
