Despite the large progress of science in the frontiers of Physics and its impact to our lives, a gap between research and society is observed. In this article we discuss the potential of citizen science to help bridge this gap by both supporting scientific research and increasing society’s science literacy.

Quantum mechanics gives probabilistic predictions, it is very abstract, and leads to paradoxes. It was discovered in 1925 in two acts of ingenious creativity. By Heisenberg, at the Helgoland island, and by Schrödinger half a year later in Alps. It allows to explain and predict an enormous range of phenomena, but almost immediately met an opposition. Einstein fully recognized it as a practical tool, but criticized its non-deterministic nature. The Einstein-Bohr debate began. Clauser, Aspect and Zeilinger ended it.

A single ion in an ultracold gas is a versatile experimental platform to study interactions between charged and neutral particles in a controllable manner. When the gas density is large enough, a single ion can be viewed as an impurity in a sea of ultracold atoms or molecules. On the other hand, that single ion can also undergo a chemical reaction with atoms or molecules in the gas. This article discusses the dynamics of a charged impurity in an ultracold bath and the interplay between cold chemistry and impurity physics.

About 90 years ago, Albert Einstein complained about the “spooky action at a distance” of quantum entanglement and questioned the completeness of quantum mechanics [1]. This year, the Nobel Prize is awarded to three pioneers that put Einstein’s curiosity under experimental tests based on Bell’s inequality [2]. The fundamentals of quantum mechanics are not of just theoretical or philosophical interest. Rather, worldwide efforts are harnessing these quantum weirdness to develop emerging technologies.

Magnets are used in electronics to store and read information. A magnetic moment is rotated to a desired direction, so that information can later be retrieved by reading this orientation. Controlling the moment via electric currents causes resistive losses and heating, a major bottleneck in advancing computing technologies. Superconducting spintronics can resolve this using the unique features of superconductors.

Emerging magnetism phenomena are observed in curvilinear nanostructures. Particularly, cylindrical metallic nanowires are attracting much attention because of their singular magnetic configurations and remagnetisation processes as determined by advanced microscopy techniques and micromagnetism. Profiting of curvature, applications are envisaged in spintronics, spincaloritronics, sensors, robotics or biomedicals.

The scales of length, time, and energy that are intermediate between the infinitely small and the infinitely large define the world we live in and that we experience. The relevant fundamental forces that act on these scales are, for nearly all phenomena, the gravitational and the electromagnetic forces. This is the subject of Chapter 2 of the EPS Grand Challenges
