"The Hamburg Centre for Ultrafast Imaging" (CUI) was founded in 2012 as a cluster of excellence at Universität Hamburg. Since the funding period has ended, CUI is being continued as a scientific research centre and host of the new cluster "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter", which directly ties in with the research. Scientists of Universität Hamburg cooperate with teams of DESY, the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter and the European XFEL GmbH.

Machine learning enables counting of magnetic skyrmions

Researchers from the Department of Physics have succeeded in training artificial neural networks to reconstruct the skyrmion number in confined geometries. In the journal Physical Review Applied, they report how the topological charge can be determined from a time-averaged measurement in this way. The results are of...
