São Paulo School of Advanced Science

The 1st São Paulo School of Advanced Science: Spintronics and Quantum Computation brought together graduate students, young post-doctoral researchers, local researchers and leading scientific figures, thus providing an ideal forum for fruitful and productive interactions and fostering future scientific exchange and international collaborations in advanced topics. Among the very high level invited speakers, it should be emphasized the participation of Peter Grünberg (Nobel Prize 2007). Spin-related phenomena and quantum computation are two fascinating interconnected fields of research, which have attracted a great deal of attention worldwide in the last years. Quite uniquely, these two fields encompass a vast number of frontier-type problems, all of which concern fundamental aspects of quantum physics.
