The symposium organised by GEFES will take place on July 18th-19th. More information on the Bienal can be found in the conference webpage bienalrsef2017.com.
This symposium seeks to put together the rising concept of quantum materials, which comprises emergent phenomena in condensed matter physics, and quantum technologies, which aim to manipulate the quantum world for the development of conceptually new devices. Both topics are strongly related, for the comprehension of the ultimate consequences of quantum interactions is a necessary condition for the realization of what has already been coined as the Second Quantum Revolution.
The scope is hence broad and includes the following topics:
-Correlated electron materials
-Topological materials (topological insulators and superconductors, Dirac materials, Weyl semimetals..)
-Solid state quantum technologies (quantum sensing, information, and computation)
-Quantum Spintronics
-Superconductivity
-Photonics
-Quantum Plasmonics
The plenary speaker (Wednesday morning) will be Gertrud Zwicknagl.
Congratulations to Ignasi Fina and Fernando González Zalba who have been awarded the Bienal Young Researchers Prize. Both will give their talks in the plenary sessions (see the Bienal Program for more details). You can find below the final schedule of our symposium:
