Quantum Functionalities of Nanomagnets
Workshop, June 17th - 19th 2025
Although numerous solid-state platforms are being developed for quantum applications significant challenges remain with respect to control and scalability, making the development of new qubit technologies a foundational activity pursued intensely. An under-explored platform – nanomagnets – is rapidly demonstrating unique features that could further invigorate the advancement of quantum technologies. This workshop aims to discuss the quantum aspects of tailored magnetic platforms, whose main advantage lies in the high degree of control in manipulation, preparation, parameter tunability, and all-magnetic device integration. It will also discuss some of the recent demonstrations of quantum operations using magnets, the discovery of materials with direct relevance to quantum technology, and the development of sensors able to detect magnetic signals with quantum sensitivity. The event will present the state-of-the-art and opportunities for synergy between quantum technology and tailored spin structures, which holds exciting promise for the creation and preservation of quantum information by magnetic quantum states.
This workshop is organized by SPICE as part of the Gutenberg International Conference Center (GICC) at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU). The GICC is funded through the German Research Foundation’s (DFG) university allowance in the Excellence Strategy program and aims at fostering JGU as a national and international research hub. By organizing regular conferences and workshops in fields of excellent JGU research, the GICC provides a platform to build interest networks and collaborations – to promote exchange and dialog among academics and research groups from all over the world.
