Scientific Scope

For more than 80 years in Hamburg renown physicists, like Otto Stern, Wolfgang Pauli and Ernst Ising have contributed to the understanding of magnetic systems. Nowadays the focus lies on the control of transport properties of artificial nanosystems which requires the understanding of local spin, charge and orbital quantum fluctuations in complicated impurity systems and molecular contacts. These effects are now accessible with spin polarized scanning tunneling microscopy at the atomic scale, as well as by new laser spectroscopy techniques with time resolution on the attosecond scale. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts on the theory of non-local quantum correlations and transport through nanosystems with experts on these new experimental advances, in order to understand future challenges in the field of quantum spintronics.
