1 Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism TP lab presentation 2009 Henrik M. Ronnow (EPFL since Jan. 2007)

2 How many body physics? One of the simplest problems: CuO S= 1/2 2 H = J S i S j 1 spin: trivial 2 spins: singlet state > - > 4 spins: back-of-the-envelope calc. 16 spins: 10 seconds on computer 40 spins: World record! (A. Läuchli, EPFL) spins: Antiferromagnet (Louis Neel 1932) Fluctuating singlets (PW Anderson 1973,1987) some electrons: High-Tc superconductivity THE enigma of modern solid state physics

3 A small contribution There are fluctuating singlets in the ground state!

4 Quantum Magnetism Theoretical models Neutron scattering the of physics Novel materials Bulk methods big magnets, low temperature, high pressure

5 Physics of Interacting Systems A challenge on all length scales Maybe the Big Bang was powered by Classical Vacuum n-body problem Quantum (from Fluctuations 3 to? galaxies) (Hawkins et al.) Spin-models Neural networks = QUANTUM EFFECT?

6 Novel electronic materials Strongly correlated electrons Often magnetism plays a (leading?) role - e.g.: High-Tc superconductors Colossal magnetoresistance La 2-x Ba x CuO 4 La 2-2x Sr 1+2x Mn 2 O 7 Doped spin ½ antiferromagnets Intrinsic spin valves

7 Building models Spins Length: S =1/2 Quantum / classical Dimension: Ising, XY, Heisenberg Architecture Dimension Connectivity Interactions Cu 2+ O 2p x Cu 3d x2-y2 H = J S i S j Anti-/Ferromagnetic Extentions Randomness Charge, orbit, lattice...

8 Magnetization Susceptibility NMR, μsr etc. Specific heat Magnetic measurements CuGeO 3 H sat (d6-5cap) 2 CuCl 4 2DHAF CuGeO 3 (Hpip) 2 CuBr 4

10 Mais les Neutrons, ils sont où? All ways lead to Rome Reactor or spallation sources: 6-10 in Europe ~2008 next-generation in US & Japan Bern SINQ, PSI European Spallation Source (ESS)? EPFL Last decade: x10 in flux x10 in detection Can study samples and phenomena not previously possible ILL, Grenoble Start: Villigen Via: Lausanne Ziel: Grenoble km 3:04 h

11 Quantum Magnetism - Quo vadis? Entanglement & quantum information theory New notation or new resource? Quantum phase transitions: Different quantum phases, universal behaviour etc. Controlled quantum magnets: Pump dynamically to obtain and control new semiconductor Bulk Restricted geometries Finite size quantization devices?
