Anniversary colloquium on the 60th birthday of Götz S. Uhrig

An interesting anniversary colloquium was held on 25.10.2024 to mark the 60th birthday of Prof. Götz S. Uhrig. It was celebrated with many local and foreign guests. The keynote speeches were given by two professors with close ties to Dortmund: The first is Jun.-Prof. Benedikt Fauseweh from Condensed Matter Theory (CMT), the second a former group leader in CMT, Prof. Kai P. Schmidt, who now holds a chair at the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen-Nuremberg. The focus was on theoretical aspects of quantum information and strong correlations in spin systems. This provided an opportunity for many intensive discussions!

Solid lines are predictions of the kp theory with no free parameters. Splitting of the conduction (e1,2) and valence (h1) band is due to the quantum confinement. [J.
