Spinaron: A Rugby in a Ball Pit. New Quantum Effect Demonstrated for the First Time
For the first time, experimental physicists from the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat have demonstrated a new quantum effect aptly named the “spinaron.” This revelation challenges the long-held Kondo effect – a theoretical concept which has been considered the standard model for the interaction of magnetic materials with metals since the 1980s. These groundbreaking findings were published in the esteemed journal Nature Physics.

New quantum professor in Dresden: With record low temperatures into the hotspot of solid state physics
Elena Hassinger has been appointed Professor of Low-Temperature Physics of Complex Electron Systems at the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat. The professorship has been newly established at TU Dresden. The researcher is an expert in solid-state physics at very low temperatures down to 0.01 Kelvin (-273.14 °C). She studies unusual quantum phenomena that only occur in the freezing cold, with the focus currently being on cerium rhodium arsenic (CeRh2 As2 ) – a promising unconventional superconductor.
