“A Wonderful Start” – ct.qmat Launches German-Japanese Research Partnership in Quantum Technologies
The Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat hosted a German-Japanese workshop on February 26 and 27, 2024, setting the course for close collaboration between researchers from both countries. Around 70 participants from Germany and Japan convened in Würzburg to discuss their latest findings in quantum physics research. Organized by ct.qmat and supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), the workshop delved into areas such as topology, photonics, magnetism, and the dynamics of electron correlation in solids. This exchange of ideas paved the way for joint projects in the coming years.

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.
