Overview

Motivated by prospective applications of quantum materials in next-generation quantum technologies, the International Max Planck Research School for Condensed Matter Science and the Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology IQST (Universities of Ulm and Stuttgart) are organizing a joint IMPRS-CMS / TQuant Summer School on Quantum Materials and Quantum Technology, to take place in Stuttgart July 11-13, 2018.

The research focus of IMPRS and IQST has a strong overlap in the fields of quantum materials, and in quantum science and technology. This joint Summer School brings together experts and PhD students from quantum physics, materials science, engineering, and life sciences to address advances and challenges in understanding and designing robust quantum systems.  The School will also cover the integration of quantum systems into device architectures, with particular focus on quantum sensors for biomedical imaging and diagnostics.

In addition to introductory keynote lectures, the School also features the most recent scientific highlights of young researchers of IMPRS and IQST, and a poster session intended for PhD students.

Topics of the School:
novel quantum materials, Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers and beyond, cold atoms, quantum control, quantum information, quantum sensing for biomedical applications.
