Topological and Unconventional Superconductivity in Low-Dimensional Magnet-Superconductor Hybrid Systems
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
• Measurement tools for probing topological band structures
• Topological phase diagrams of MSH systems
• Emergence of Majorana zero modes in 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

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

Scossa-Romano he analytically solved the elasticity problem of random sphere packings and elastic random networks. Later he developed an equation (Krausser, Samwer, Zaccone PNAS 2015) for the viscosity of liquids and a molecular-level theory of the glass transition based on thermoelasticity, the latter with E. Terentjev. With K. Trachenko, he discovered and mathematically predicted that the low-frequency shear modulus of liquids scales with the inverse cubic power of the (sub-millimeter) confinement length, a law that has been observed experimentally in many different systems. More recently, he has developed the anharmonic theory of phonon-mediated superconductivity, which extends the BCS theory to materials with anharmonicity, and disorder and to high-pressure materials.

Superconducting Spintronics: Novel Quantum Circuits
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
Josephson pi-juncitons

Iron Based Superconductors (IBS): Fundamental and Applied Research under Ambient and Applied Pressures
Iron-based superconductors (IBS) offer an excellent material platform for conducting basic and practical research. The highest transition temperature (Tc) of 58 K, high upper critical field (Hc2) of ~100 T, and high critical current density (Jc) of 107-108 A/cm2 have been reported for IBS. More than 100 compounds belong to this high-Tc superconductor that can be categorized into six families based on the structure of the parent compounds: REFeAsO (RE1111; RE = rare earth), AFe2As2 (122; A = Ba, K, Ca), (Li/Na)FeAs (111), AEAFe4As4 (1144; AE = Ca, Eu; A = K, Rb), thick perovskite-type oxide blocking layers, such as Sr4V2O6Fe2As2 (22456), Sr4Sc2O6Fe2P2 (42622), etc., and chalcogenide FeX representing 11 (X = chalcogenide). The 1111 and 1144 families are the two most significant families of IBS, which offer high Tc of 58 and 36 K with (as a doped system) and without doping (as a stoichiometric system), respectively. After 15 years of discovery, there are still many challenges with these high Tc IBS materials. This session focuses on two main themes of discussion: 1) Current exciting investigations and findings for IBS regarding the physical, structural, thermodynamic and magnetic properties from characterization measurements as well as the material properties aspects 2) Study and comprehend the high-pressure effects on the growth, electronic structure, electron-phonon interaction and superconducting characteristics of IBS and its development under extreme conditions.

Quantum Functional Materials and Their Emerging Technologies
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.
Sessions Topics Include (but not limited to) :
• Dirac and Weyl semimetals
• Topological Insulators
• Graphene and other 2D materials

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.
