Spins on Surfaces II (SOS2)

Following the very successful SoS meeting of 2016 at the Miramar palace, we plan on hosting the second SoS workshop. The topic is timely and in expansion. We increase the original scope of the workshop to include the very exciting developments in quantum information thanks to the new ability of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to measure and control quantum spins. Then, the workshop will be devoted to the study of single magnetic moments on solid surfaces, their detection, manipulation, and encoding of quantum information. The single magnetic moments can be in atomic or molecular form, both systems having interesting properties to explore. Of great interest, the detection of spin resonance signal is becoming a landmark, and it is important to keep updated in this quickly developing field. The problems of correlations and the building in of information by manipulation and assembling quantum objects in a bottom up approach will also be a key component of the workshop.

This workshop is planned for September 10-14, 2018 at the Palacio de Miramar, San Sebastian, Spain.
