Spin based quantum materials harness transformative potential for the next advancements in microelectronics and quantum information science. Several novel quantum materials host phases that are indistinguishable with conventional probes, motivating new experimental methods. In this symposium, we will examine and discuss progress in the field of quantum materials where the spin degree of freedom plays a key role, such as altermagnets, materials with topological spin textures or spin-based topology. We will discuss topics from synthesis to optical characterization to transport phenomena to theoretical modeling, and importantly, we will pay special attention to state-of-the-art probes to detect such emergent materials. The contributions of experts in all these diverse areas will be extremely valuable to tackle important challenges in this field. This symposium will bring together several research groups interested in spin-based quantum materials, thereby stimulating joint collaborations.
