Discovering new quantum phenomena in           materials and condensates

March 2026

Publication in PRL

The work of Johanne Tjernshaugen and Martin Bruland on how spin interactions and magnon properties can be tailored using the flow of superconducting electrons has been published in Physical Review Letters:  "Designing lattice spin models and magnon gaps with supercurrents".
