The International School will provide a concise overview about recent progress in fundamental spin effects in
the realm of condensed matter physics and how they can be
realized in artificial systems, such as ultracold quantum gases or ion traps.
The pedagogical talks are provided by both experimental and theoretical physicists of
international reputation.
The school is organized by the College for the Advancement of Postgraduate
Education (MGK) within the Collaborative Research Centers SFB/TR49
and SFB/TRR173,
which are both funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, but it will be open for international registration.
In particular, PhD students and young postdocs, who are interested to broaden their research profile, will benefit from the introductory lectures
as well as the discussions within a relaxed atmosphere. Furthermore, all participants will be given the
opportunity to present their current research work through posters and a
poster flash presentation.
