Description

Quantum design is the concept of implementing interesting ideas, often expressed as theoretical ‘toy models’ or computational algorithms, in modern material systems with advanced functionalities. Moiré materials, quantum computing, topological states of matter, intriguing magnonic and superconducting states are just a few examples of different implementations. They provide a rich playground for basic research and applications.

This special edition of the Quantum Designer Physics Workshop offers the participants to celebrate the year of Quantum Science and Technology in a stimulating atmosphere for discussing new physics on the marvelous sites of San Sebastian. We will discuss recent progress in creating ordinary and topological quantum systems with different layers of complexity, as well as some of the most exotic quantum materials based on graphene and other low dimensional materials. We will update on the progress in spin-based quantum computing, spintronics, and the quest for topologically non-trivial states in hybrid superconducting systems. We hope the workshop will foster collaborations and inspire its attendants to tackle new problems with great ideas which make a difference for fundamental physics, lead to applications, and advance quantum technologies.

Fernando González Zalba

M. Fernando Gonzalez Zalba is an Ikerbasque Professor at CIC nanoGUNE where he leads the Quantum Hardware Group since 2024. He is also Head of Quantum Hardware Development at Quantum Motion, a start-up dedicated to the development of quantum computing hardware based on silicon technology. He holds a UKRI Future Leader Fellowship for the development of scaled up quantum computing architectures based on silicon technology. Furthermore, he is Associate Lecturer at the University of Cambridge - where he teaches Low-Dimensional Physics – he is Honorary Research Associate at University College London – for his dedication to graduate training – and Quondam Fellow at Hughes Hall, a University of Cambridge College. He obtained a PhD from the University of Cambridge with a thesis on Single-atom Electronics in 2013 and was Head of Quantum Computing at the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory, a R&D centre of Hitachi Europe. In 2016, he received the R&D Technology Award from Hitachi's Centre for Social Innovation for the development of silicon-based quantum computing technology. He was awarded the Young Scientist Award by the Spanish Royal Society of Physics in 2017, and in 2019 became a Royal Society Industry Fellow.
