Quantum Magnetism, Spin Waves, and Optical Cavities

Silvia Viola Kusminskiy is group leader at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen and she obtained her PhD in Physics from the Boston University for her studies on quantum liquids in correlated systems. Her work focuses on theoretical condensed matter, quantum optics, optomechanics and optomagnonics as well as graphene physics and low dimensional systems.

Electromagnetism - Atomic Origins of Magnetism - Magnetism in Solids - Interlude: Problem Set -  Spin Waves and Magnons -  Magneto-Optical Effects - Modern Topics: Cavity Optomagnonics.

"The course was meant for advanced undergraduates and students studying for a Master's degree. ... Optomagnonics is evidently a new and upcoming 'hybrid' system with the possibiliy of important experiments waiting to be conceived and implemented.Anyone working on such a project would definitely benefit from having a copy of this book with them in the lab or the desk. All in all, a very interesting, informative and useful book." (Daniel A. Dubin, zbMath 1419.81005, 2019)
