Topological Superconductivity, Majorana Modes and Topological Quantum Computation

One of the major challenges for the future of quantum computation is the drastic reduction of the error rate associated with quantum decoherence phenomena. Robust topological qubits, as realized by Majorana states, may ultimately provide a solution and constitute a new direction of topological quantum computation. However, unambiguous identification of Majorana states requires well-defined model-type platforms.

Magnet-superconductor hybrid (MSH) systems provide the most promising platforms for realizing unconventional types of superconductivity. The Session will focus on recent exciting developments in the theoretical prediction and understanding of topological superconductivity and associated zero-energy Majorana modes as well as experimental breakthroughs based on advanced nanofabrication techniques for realizing well-defined magnet-superconductor hybrid systems. Potential applications for topological quantum computation will be discussed, taking into account recent progress regarding concepts and the design of devices based on topologically protected qubits.

Session Topics Include (but not limited to) :

 

• Nanofabrication of magnet-superconductor hybrid (MSH) systems

MgB2 – Materials and Applications

MgB2 is expected to be used in helium-free conditions at around 20K, which can easily be attained by a cryo-cooler or liquid hydrogen. The ignorable weak link in the form of grain coupling suggests that the MgB2 fabrication process is simpler than that of HTS superconductors. However, the critical current properties of MgB2 bulks, tapes, and wires still do not reach the level of practical applications due to low density, the inclusion of impurity phases, oxidation of constituent elements and so on. The purpose of the session is to understand the present status of MgB2 and to discuss the improvement of current-carrying characteristics for the wide range of applications of MgB2. Wire production using in-situ and ex-situ methods, the techniques PIT, CTFF, and IMD will also be debated in view of Jc enhancement and persistent current joints. Permanent Magnets made of bulks and their modeling and applications will be included.

Sessions Topics Include (but not limited to) :

• Fabrication of bulks, thin films, wire and tapes
• Microstructure and critical current densities

Superconductors Under Extreme Conditions of Pressure and Strain

Superconductivity is among the most fascinating and well-studied quantum states of matter. Almost 8 years passed after discovering 200K superconductivity in the highly compressed hydrogen sulfide. There are many theoretical works for not only the explanation of superconductivity but for other candidates of superconductors at high pressure. Despite over 100 years of research, a detailed understanding of how features of the normal-state electronic structure determine superconducting properties has remained elusive. For instance, the ability to deterministically enhance the superconducting transition temperature by design, rather than by serendipity, has been a long sought-after goal in condensed matter physics and materials science, but achieving this objective may require new tools, techniques, and approaches. In this session, the recent investigation in both experimental and theoretical studies will be discussed.  This session is dedicated to all kinds of superconductors in both experimental and theoretical studies to elucidate the understanding of superconductivity transition.

Session Topics Include (but not limited to) :

• Synthesis and Characterization of hydrides
• Theoretical prediction and design of high-Tc Superconductor
• Technical investigation in extreme conditions with pressure and strain for hydrides
• Studies of other superconducting materials with pressure and strain

Quantum Functional Materials and Quantum Technology

Quantum technology is a new and advanced area of physics and engineering, based on the use of some of the phenomena in quantum mechanics, such as quantum entanglement, quantum superposition, and quantum tunneling and interference effects for practical applications such as quantum computing, quantum materials, quantum sensing, quantum cryptography, high precision quantum metrology, and quantum imaging.

The progress made in condensed matter physics during the last two decades leads to discovery principally new phenomena and engineering of advanced functional materials which may play a crucial role in the developments in modern science and technology. Especially, this concerns a relatively new area, quantum technology which is based on the use of quantum phenomena in the functionalization of advanced nanoscale materials. It is commonly believed that low-dimensional quantum functional materials such as graphene, topological insulators, novel superconductors, quantum sensors, and quantum spin liquids may replace in near future traditional ones in electronic, optical and mechanical devices by increasing their energy- and resource-saving efficiency, durability, making them maximally compact, flexible and environmentally safe. Unusual properties of these materials make possible realization and practical utilization of new quantum phenomena related to underlying fundamental phenomena such as topological effects, relativistic-like behavior (in graphene and Majorana fermions), disorder and coherence effects, quantum transport, etc. Fabrication of new materials and devices requires the study of such effects and tuning of the physical properties of these materials.

PT-Symmetric and Non-hermitian Superconducting Systems

A rapid development of quantum information technologies has allowed not just to fabricate quantum systems extremely weakly interacting with an environment, which is a necessary condition to observe the coherent quantum dynamics at larger times, but also to realize the opposite effect with a nonequilibrium growth of the population of specially chosen quantum states, i.e., the so-called states with a gain. Consequently, a loss present in other parts of the system is then completely equalized by an induced gain and, as a result, the system can be described within the parity-time (PT)-symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, which belongs to the broader class of pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonins (pHHs). The goal of the session to discuss the pt-symmetric superconducting systems

Ilya Eremin

Ilya Eremin is a Professor at Ruhr-University Bochum.His research interests lie in the field of condensed matter, with a focus on the theoretical study of quantum many-body systems. He is particularly interested in the study of strongly correlated, low-dimensional electronic and magnetic systems, as well as unconventional and high-temperature superconductivity. The peculiarity of these systems is that the electron-electron correlations here are enhanced by the effect of reduced dimensionality and competition of spin, charge and orbital degrees of freedom. In addition, it must be taken into account that the ground state in these systems changes drastically as a function of only a single parameter.

Furthermore, He deals with systems that have geometric frustration in addition to low dimensionality and strong electronic correlations.

Quantum Error Mitigation

Current quantum hardware for information processing is prone to errors, limiting the complexity of computations that can be performed. Traditional error mitigation techniques have involved encoding the logical quantum information content of a single qubit in an array of physical qubits— the surface code and the toric code being examples of qubits on a square grid or more complex graph in the case of the latter. More recently, designs have been proposed requiring a smaller number of physical qubits, and architectures which are hardware efficient and protect against only the most prevalent of errors. Additionally, noise suppression techniques have been developed where the processing capacity of quantum hardware can be enhanced by tailoring one type of noise into another. This session explores the different modalities of quantum error mitigation currently being developed and highlights open challenges in the field.

New Phenomena and Applications in Molecular Magnets

Molecular based magnets have generated intense interest in recent years because of the technological possibilities that they suggest in so-called Molecular Spintronics. These are materials that combine some of the intrinsic properties of molecular solids(nanoscopic size, low density, synthetic versatility, optical transparency and so on) with the presence of one or more physical properties of practical utility. Among the properties that have stimulated the greatest interest, we can highlight optical as well as electrical and magnetic properties – regardless of whether the latter be cooperative ( such as ferromagnetism or superconductivity) or non-cooperative (superparamagnetism spin glass). The system that generates the greatest attention are those molecular materials that can be converted reversibly between two states, with concomitant variations in some of the properties of interest, under the action of an external stimulus such as light, pressure, temperature or electric or magnetic fields. Recently materials have been obtained which combine electric and magnetic properties (molecular multiferroics) optical and magnetic properties, and even magnetic properties in systems with intramolecular electron transfer. It could be expected that in these multifunctional materials a mutual. The influence could exist-a synergy- between the properties involved, making possible the development of nanoscopic devices such as molecular switches or spin filters.

Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence(AI) with ab initio calculations

Ab initio (or “first principles”) calculations play an essential role in Quantum Materials Modelling. The key advantages are accuracy and transferability, i.e.that the answers obtained are good and reliable in a wide range of different contexts. The downside is the computational cost required, which limits this approach in system size and time scale and often requires access to high-performance computing facilities. This contrasts with the traditional force-field approach, wherein “chemical intuition” is used to create the functional form of how energy varies with atomic position, and this is then parameterized by fitting to a mix of experimental data and/or ab initio results. The force-field approach is much faster to apply once it has been created but is limited in accuracy (it typically knows nothing about electrons) and transferability (it typically only works near the state point(s) it was parameterized to and is not transferable to new materials). The ML and AI approaches offer new ways of approaching the problem of materials modeling, with (typically) near-ab initio accuracy and near-force-field speed. There are a variety of different approaches being developed, and in this session, we will explore some of them, to learn more about their strengths and weaknesses.

Numerical Modelling of Superconducting Materials and Applications

Over the past decade, significant advances have been made by the superconducting modeling community [1] to develop various numerical models to analyze the performance of superconducting materials for a variety of practical engineering devices and applications. With strong support from the superconductor modeling community, a series international workshop dedicated to the numerical modeling of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials has been organized since 2010. Numerical models are powerful tools for investigating the electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal properties of superconducting materials in various configurations coils, cables, transformers, and rotating machines, as well as bulk superconducting materials and pseudo-bulk stacks of superconducting tape acting as powerful, trapped field magnets(TEMs). The modeling of HTS materials, in particular, has unique challenges that must incorporate very complex behavior due to extreme nonlinearity and hysteresis, strong anisotropy, temperature dependence, relaxation, and high aspect ratio and complex composite structure of practical wires and tapes. Such complex behavior raises new challenges in the development of reliable modeling tools and requires a specialized research effort to effectively deal with these problems.

Advances in Thin Films, Multi-Layers and Patterned Nanostructures

Magnetic structures such as thin films, multilayers, nano size particles are quite attractive systems in technological fields, as their magnetic and transport properties can be manipulated by applying any external factor. Hence, they have been under intense investigation because of their useful applications in device technologies.

Micromechanics and Its Application to Energy Storage and Harvesting Application

Recently, sustainable and renewable energy harvesting and storage devices are paving the way for efficient usage of state-of-the-art electronic applications. The energy harvesting systems include piezoelectric, triboelectric, and solar cells, while rechargeable batteries are acts as a medium to store that energy for intermittent use. A high energy density battery (such as Lithium, sodium, etc.) is considered a promising candidate for future energy storage systems ranging from portable consumer applications to high power applications such as electric vehicles. . With the increased computing power of wearable electronics along with the need to maintain a connection with the internet, the energy demand for wearables has significantly increased. Current commercialized LIBs are based on the graphite anode, which has a specific capacity of 372 mAhg–1, but there exists a demand for an increase in the capacity of up to ∼600 mAhg–1. Another important factor is to make these systems flexible and wearable to enable the integration of these devices into novel wearable sensors, actuators, displays, and soft robotics. Advanced manufacturing methods especially additive manufacturing have enabled the possibility of creating flexible energy storage and harvesters. Additive manufacturing methods also create opportunities to form devices using novel materials which are otherwise not possible to fabricate using conventional methods. The efficacy of these devices rely on the proper choice of material, topological schemes of electrodes, active materials, and substrates. The mechanics of these systems in turn depend on the physical properties of the materials and their engineered designs. The objective of this session is to discuss how the mechanics, especially at the micro/nano level affect the performance of these devices. Furthermore, particular attention will be given to novel 3D materials, 2D materials, engineered designs and state-of-the-art printing methods used to print novel materials for the creation of energy harvesters and energy storage devices.

Molecular Spintronics Toward Spin Qubits for Quantum Computer and High-Density Memory Devices

Electronics, which is based on the charge degree of freedom of the electron, was a key technology in the 20th century, whereas spintronics, which is based on the charge and spin degrees of freedom of the electron, became a key technology in the late 20th century. For example, in 1988, Dr. Fert and Dr. Greunberg discovered giant magnetoresistance (GMR), for which they received the Nobel Prize in 2007. So far, various magnetoresistance devices, spin field effect transistors (FET), etc. have been reported. However, most spintronics devices are composed of inorganic materials. In order to overcome “Moore`s Limitation”, we must use nano-sized molecule-based magnets instead of the conventional bulk magnets.
More recently, researchers have been interested in molecular spintronics based on coordination compounds because coordination molecules have several advantages over inorganic materials, such as lightness, transparency, tunability, variety, molecular designs, etc. Therefore, in this symposium, we will focus on the frontiers and perspectives of molecular spintronics based on coordination compounds. This conference will focus on molecule-based magnets and materials including single-molecule magnets (SMMs), spin crossover compounds (SCO), optical magnetic complexes, conducting magnetic complexes, organic radical metal complexes, spin qubits, spin valve, Kondo resonance, giant magnetoresistance (GMR), tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR), spin-dependent optical phenomena, nano-particles, spinterfaces, etc.
Our final targets are directed toward Quantum Computer and Quantum Memory Device based on coordination compounds.

Session Topics Include (but not limited to) :

Magnetism, Lattice Dynamics and Superconductivity

The session will be devoted to all aspects related to the question whether or not magnetism influences lattice vibrations and/or superconductivity.
Magnetism and lattice dynamics are of importance with regard to superconductivity. Whereas magnetism seems to be an “enemy”, phonons rather act as mediator. According to The role of magnetism in the lattice dynamics is routinely regarded as negligible what follows from calculations of the standard theory of the electron-phonon interaction (EPI). However, Kim showed that the impact of the EPI on the spin susceptibility of metals can be enhanced by two orders of magnitude in itinerant magnets [1]. Based either on calculations and/or on measurements several authors recently reported results that do not agree with the standard theory. In particular, M. S. Lucas et al. wrote [2]: Changes in the PDOS of bcc-FeV were revealed at crossing the Curie temperature”, B. Alling et al. concluded that [3]: “Lattice vibrations strongly affect the distribution of local magnetic moment in paramagnetic Fe viz. they weaken their mean values”, and I. S. Tupitsyn et al. noticed that [4]: “The standard theory neglects the effect of magnetism on lattice dynamics and fails to explain enhancement of the critical temperature in phonon-mediated superconductors.”

Chiral Magnetism: Solitons and Skyrmions

Chiral magnets are currently the subject of intense investigations both because of their practical applications in technology and their interesing properties from the point of view of fundamental science. The applications exploit the charge and spin transport properties of a chiral magnet, which are strongly affected by the magnetic structure and thus can be controlled by the application of suitable magnetic fields. In addition, due to its topological nature, the magnetic structure of a chiralmagnet is protected against continuous deformations to homogeneous magnetic states, as ferromagnetic states. The chiral state can only turn into a homogeneous state through phase transitions that take place at definite points of the phase diagram. This robustness makes chiral magnets excellent candidates as the main components of spintronic devices and, for instance, they are specially suitable as the main components of information storage devices. Besides the applications, chiral magnets are very interesting objects from a fundamental point of view, as chiral symmetry and its breaking and restoration are ubiquitous phenomena appearing virtually in any domain of science, from elementary particle physics to astrophysics, and including chemistry, biology, and geology

Quantum Magnonics

Hybrid quantum systems with the intertwined charge and spin degrees of freedom and allowing for a high-speed magnetic moment variation at the nano-scale are especially promising for magnonic and spintronic applications. The unforeseen magneto-dynamic and electronic performance of such systems can be engineered by a wide range of parameters, including the choice of constituent materials, the shape of the sample and the orientation and strength of applied fields. Low-temperature microwave magnetic circuits are rapidly developing for probing the physics of magnonic systems at the quantum level. Of particular interest are hybrid nanoscale quantum systems whose components exhibit cooperative ground states, such as superconductivity and ferromagnetism, and posses a rich choice of linear and nonlinear properties in the radiofrequency and microwave range. This Special Session is aimed at strengthening cryogenic magnonics as a prominent subdiscipline of magnonics and magnon spintronics.

Superconducting Spintronics

The emerging field of spintronics is based on electron spin and magnetization. This new area of research and technology aims at enhancing the storage capacity of computer hard drives and potentially play an important role in quantum computing’s future. Superconductor-ferromagnet (SF) structures are widely regarded as the building blocks of this superconducting spintronic technology. It is generally accepted that conventional spintronic devices typically require large currents with high resistance giving rise to heat concerns, so researchers are investigating the viability of superconductors showing no/low resistance (dc/ac) to the current flow. In superconductors, there is no magnetic field in the interior of the superconductor, while there is a saturated magnetic field presence in the ferromagnetic material, when these two materials meet at a boundary interface, there could be an electromagnetic proximity effect. This session will consist of world-wide leading speakers with new results in a way to understand longstanding questions about how SF structures interact, and these could lead to a fast and effective technology of superconducting spintronics.

Session Topics Include (but not limited to) :

Proximity effects in SF structures

Fundamental Properties and Simulations of Vortex Matter

Computer modeling is established as a very valuable tool in the field of superconductivity. The phenomenon of superconductivity is numerically explored at many different levels. Here we will concentrate on the exploration of macroscopic properties of vortex matter and large-size systems, which is in most cases not feasible within microscopic models, and coarser phenomenological approaches have to be used. The Ginzburg-Landau model, for example, describing the superconducting order parameter as the most relevant degree of freedom is the most popular of these phenomenological approaches in theoretical research on superconductivity. Numerical implementations of this model allow to explore large system sizes and to calculate macroscopic properties. As an example, time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) simulations were successfully employed to explore and optimize pinning of vortex lines (see figure).

Session Topics Include (but not limited to) :

Simulations of vortex matter: Time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau and Langevin dynamics
Modelling of different defects: grain boundaries, strain fields, magnetic and non-magnetic defects
Vortex Pinning and Critical Currents
Multi-scale, multi-component modelling of superconductor macroscopic properties
Mesoscopic behavior of vortex matter: effect of confinement

Graphene and 2D Materials (2DM) – Experimental Session

In this session, the experimental aspects and new approaches to synthesize and characterize graphene and other new families of 2D materials will be presented. Current knowledge on the physical properties of graphene and related 2D materials will be expanded by various experimental methods and possible usage of such materials on devices will be discussed. In particular important issues such as synthesis, defect structures, conductivity, magnetism, superconductivity, quantum confinement effects, the dependence of the energy gap on thickness and strain, the multi-orbital character of the electronic state and the effect of the strong spin-orbit coupling will be discussed through various experimental approaches. Recently, it is reported that Moiré patterns formed with twisted bilayer graphene have a strong influence on the electronic properties of the graphene material. The main reason is that the Moiré pattern slows down the electrons that conduct electricity in graphene and zip past each other at great speeds. At a twist angle of about 1.1 degrees -the so-called magic angle- these electrons come to an almost zero velocity. The slow-moving electrons start seeing each other and interact with their surround to move in lock-step. As a result, the graphene acquires interesting peculiarities such as superconductivity or magnetism. Such magic angles may also exist in 2D materials thus new superconductive materials can be found via twisted bilayers. Therefore in this session, it is also hoped that some new possibilities or developments with these materials will be put forward.

Session Topics Include (but not limited to) :
  • Fundamental experimental research on Graphene and 2DM
  • Defect structures in Graphene and 2DM
  • Spectroscopic characterization of Graphene and 2DM
