Dear participants,

the preliminary discussion and the assignment of topics will take place on Wednesday April 27^th and May 4^th at 11.30am in the WSI Seminar room S101. Please also find a list of topics in this announcement. 

See you on Wednesday!

     the organisers 

This seminar deals with spin-related phenomena in solid state physics.

The focus of the seminar will be on

• Spins in the Solid-State
• Hybrid Quantum Systems
• Quantum Sensing

All topics have substantial overlap with magnetism and spin-related research activities at the WMI, the TUM physics department and the WSI. Seminar talks can be given either in English or in German.

The seminar is particularly relevant for the special courses on "Magnetism", "Spintronics", "Quantum Sensing" and "Quantum Semiconductor Electronics". It is suitable for bachelor and master students in the 6. semester and higher.
