Second International Workshop on Quantum Spin Ice

Europe/Zurich
Description

The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts in the field, to discuss the accomplished progress and perspectives for future developments. The program intends to cover fundamental aspects of the emergent quantum electrodynamics, its predicted signatures, and the experimental realizations. We aim to develop interdisciplinary communication and collaborations among internationally leading experts, and to promote young researchers contributing to the field.

The workshop will be held in the region Aargau, Switzerland and accessible by public transport (approximately 1 hour from either Zürich or Basel airport).
