EEL 4930/5934- Spintronics for Quantum Technology

Course Description
This course is designed as an introductory study of spintronics and quantum technology, an emerging field that combines engineering disciplines with physical and material sciences to access, manipulate, and possibly enhance the magnetic memory, spintronic device and quantum technology. The interdisciplinary course covers understanding the foundational concepts of magnetism and magnetically ordered materials, spin-dependent electron transport, and their device applications. With fundamental understanding of these materials and devices, the focus throughout the course will be on applications, with examples for magnetic data storage, magnetic random access memory (MRAM), neuromorphic computing, sensors, microwave, magnonic and quantum devices. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are trained through independent and collaborative report and presentations.
