Magnetic materials are ubiquitous in nature and have many applications, usually made possible by the macroscopic magnetic moments they can host. These include intricate ordered states such as so-called spiral states, stripe orders, and skyrmion states. They also include spin liquids where quantum fluctuations prevent long-range order from forming, even at zero temperature. This workshop hopes to address different aspects of magnetic systems and their analogs, including materials synthesis, characterization, quantum optics and AMO physics and discuss ideas ranging from new forms of magnetism and their neutron probes to analogue quantum simulations and cavity QED. The workshop aims to bring together experts in physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering to share ideas on how to create systems with novel magnetic properties, identify methods for controlling their states, and discuss innovative ways they can be exploited technologically.
