Our vision is to trigger a revolution in low-power information and communication technologies in an energy-efficient society.
QuSpin´s objective is to develop the basic science that uses quantum entities such as the electron spin as information carriers in radically different ways. We aim at groundbreaking basic research that is crucial to the development of fast, high-capacity, material systems and tools for smaller and more power-efficient electronic devices.
All women who are interested in physics from bachelor to master level are welcome to our informal friendly cafes 2025.
In the male-dominated field of physics our Center of Excellence, QuSpin , Center of Quantum Spintronics, wants to make a difference. We have attracted women from all around the world.
Now we want to invite you to share your thoughts and ideas to better understand how we can attract even more women to our field of physics.
Our female researchers will tell you a bit about what we do at QuSpin and career opportunities as a physicist. Light snacks and drinks will be served.
A motivation is the usage statistics behind Apple, Google, YouTube, Netflix, and data mining for Bitcoin, as a few examples of the staggering amounts of data transfer and storage capacity that is needed for these services. Followed by their continuously increasing energy consumption needs, new ways to handle this efficiently is a pressing matter.
Quasi-particles can convey spin information with exceptional tiny energy losses, considering the dynamical evolution of the spin states for high-speed electronics. A supercurrent is a remarkable phenomenon where a current can flow in a supercurrent with no electrical resistance and no energy loss.
The QuSpin center was in 2017 recognized as one of the ten new Centers of Excellence by the Research Council of Norway, 2017-2027. From left: Jacob Linder, Arne Brataas, Asle Sudbø and Justin Wells

Abstract
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron’s motion and its spin and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state phenomena has been extensively studied, its role in superconducting hybrid structures and devices elicits many unexplored questions.…
