Researchers work to create a roadmap on quantum materials

Phys.org  September 25, 2020
Recently the definition of quantum materials has broadened to cover all the materials that allow scientists and engineers to explore emergent quantum phenomena and their potential applications. In this roadmap an international team of researchers (USA – UT Austin, University of Minnesota, Cornell University, France, Germany, South Korea, Canada, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Chile, India, Brazil, Austria)
aims to capture a snapshot of the most recent developments in the field, and to identify outstanding challenges and emerging opportunities. The experts in each discipline share their viewpoint and articulate their vision for quantum materials, reflecting the dynamic and multifaceted nature of this research area, and is meant to encourage exchanges and discussions across traditional disciplinary boundaries. The collective vision may contribute to sparking new questions and activities at the intersection of materials science, condensed matter physics, device engineering, and quantum information, and to shaping a clearer landscape of quantum materials science as a new frontier of interdisciplinary scientific inquiry…read more.
