Synopsis:

Spin is a quantum property of electrons and atomic nuclei that is key to the future of many technologies. The course introduces the physical properties of spin and their use in cutting-edge devices (spintronics, magnetic sensors, biomedicine, quantum technologies). It builds the foundations for a career in medical and quantum technologies or hardware for artificial intelligence.
