Quantum Designer's Special Edition: 100 years of Quantum (QD100)

Quantum design is the concept of implementing interesting ideas, often expressed as theoretical ‘toy models’ or computational algorithms, in modern material systems with advanced functionalities. Moiré materials, quantum computing, topological states of matter, intriguing magnonic and superconducting states are just a few examples of different implementations. They provide a rich playground for basic research and applications.

This special edition of the Quantum Designer Physics Workshop offers the participants to celebrate the year of Quantum Science and Technology in a stimulating atmosphere for discussing new physics on the marvelous sites of San Sebastian. We will discuss recent progress in creating ordinary and topological quantum systems with different layers of complexity, as well as some of the most exotic quantum materials based on graphene and other low dimensional materials. We will update on the progress in spin-based quantum computing, spintronics, and the quest for topologically non-trivial states in hybrid superconducting systems.  We hope the workshop will foster collaborations and inspire its attendants to tackle new problems with great ideas which make a difference for fundamental physics, lead to applications, and advance quantum technologies.
