CONDENSED MATTER THEORY GROUP

Science Institute – University of Iceland

Summer workshop: "Efficient control of magnetization switching"

We are pleased to invite you to our summer workshop "Efficient control of magnetization switching"! It will be held on July 25 at the University of Iceland in the University Centre - Háskólatorg.

The purpose of the workshop is to establish a theoretical framework for the optimal control of magnetic states and to explore solutions for efficient, low-power data processing and data recording based on magnetic media. The workshop is recommended to everyone interested in magnetism.

It is very important that you confirm your participation by following the link and filling out the registration form by July 12:
