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) :

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

Born in 1981, after a PhD at ETH Zurich he has been on the faculty of the Technical University of Munich, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Milan. In 2011 with his student E. 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

Daniel Braithwaite – Duygu Yazici

Prof. Daniel Braithwaite Works on the physics of strongly correlated electron systems, mainly rare earth or uranium based intermetallic compounds with the effects on the unconventional superconductivity and its interaction with magnetism. Also Works on the Extreme conditions of high pressure, low temperature, and sometimes magnetic field, to tune the microscopic parameters of the sample in order to explore the phase diagram and attain the new quantum phases we search for. Experimental studies require sensitive measuring techniques, if possible of various kinds, in order to gain as much information as possible. The measurements that are performed at high pressure include sensitive resistivity measurements, using low temperature transformers and lock-in detection techniques, but also specific heat and magnetic susceptibility (using an a.c. techniques). We also use more and more the powerful tool that is synchrotron radiation for high pressure studies and regularly perform experiments at the ESRF such as resonant absorption spectroscopy to determine valence change as a function of pressure, and even resonant magnetic x-ray scattering at high pressure.

Superconductivity in Bi-layer Nickelates

Nickelate superconductors have become a hot topic of research in recent years because of their similarity to high-temperature superconductors, especially cuprates. The underlying mechanism of superconductivity is still unclear and there have been intense debates. The relatively simple unit cell structure of nickelate superconductors and their superconducting mechanism could elucidate the long-standing mechanism of superconductivity in cuprates. The superconducting phase at high pressure has an orthorhombic structure. Recent density functional theory calculations suggest that the superconductivity arises coincidentally with the metallisation and the apical oxygens connecting the Ni-O bilayers. In this focus session, both experimental and theoretical results will be presented and discussed in terms of similarities and dissimilarities with the outstanding properties of cuprates.

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.

Molecular Spin Qubits toward Quantum Computer

Classical bits are composed of 0 and 1, while quantum bits (Qbits) are composed of the superposition of 0 and 1. Qubits are very promising and available for quantum computer as well as quantum sensor. Quantum computer has tremendous advantages for calculation speeds compared with the supercomputer. So far, several qubits are realized by using superconducting loops, photons, quantum dots, trapped atoms, nitrogen vacancy in diamond, etc. More recently, molecular spin qubits are considered to be the next generation candidate of qubits, because of (1)Spin phase control by pulse ESR, (2)High spin-polarization of electron spin, and (3)High molecular designability. However, the demerit is the short lifetime of superposition (T2: spin-spin relaxation time). The boundary condition is 2T1>T2 (T1:spin-lattice relaxation time). Therefore, we must lengthen the T1 and T2 and, moreover realize the room temperature performance with long coherence of the molecular spin qubits for real application by the molecular designs, the crystal lattice designs, etc.
In this session, we will discuss about the recent progress and perspectives on the molecular spin qubits for quantum computer.

Session Topics Include (but not limited to) :

  • Single-Molecule Magnets

  • Molecule-Based Magnets

Novel Quantum Magnetism in Low Dimensions

Research in quantum phenomena in magnets with competing interactions and in low dimensions remains at the forefront of condensed matter physics, inspiring a multitude of quests for exotic states, models that can realize them, and real materials that can host them. Competing magnetic interactions due to lattice geometry or spin-orbit coupling give rise to elusive spin-liquid states with fractional excitations, valence-bond phases with spatial symmetry breaking, quantum spin nematics, and unconventionally ordered phases and phase transitions. A new platform to create and study novel magnetic phenomena is provided by magnetic van der Waals materials that can be thinned down to a monolayer limit. The abundance of various types of magnetic orders and their high tunability also make these materials important for future applications.

 

In this session, recent theoretical and experimental advances in this exciting field of research will be presented and discussed by distinguished international experts.

  • Frustrated Magnetism and Spin Systems
  • Quantum Spin Liquids
  • Low Dimensional Magnetism

Quantum spin and magnetism in chiral materials: CISS effect, 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

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
  • Graphene and 2DM based device fabrication Superconductivity in Graphene and 2DM

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.

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).

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.

Quantum Functional Materials and Their Emerging Technologies

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.

Sessions Topics Include (but not limited to) :

• Dirac and Weyl semimetals
• Topological Insulators
• Graphene and other 2D materials
• Majorana fermions
• Kitaev chains

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.

Session Topics Include (but not limited to) :

• Organic superconductors
• Carbon Based Superconductivity
• Molecular Magnetism
