US NIST quantum materials workshop open to participants

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is organising the 4th Quantum Matters in Materials Science (QMMS) workshop in-person on Feb 19-20, 2025 at the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, 9700 Great Seneca Highway, Rockville, Maryland, 20850

The workshop will be focused on quantum phenomena in emerging materials.

Large scale initiatives such as the Materials Genome Initiative, the National Quantum Initiative, and the CHIPS for America Act investigate quantum materials and accelerate their development for quantum information systems (QIS), for the use in ICs and other practical industrial applications.

For these approaches and initiatives to be successful, it is essential to have good synergy between experimental and computational efforts. This workshop aims at streamlining this effort.



The workshop will mainly focus on 2D and 3D inorganic superconductor, topological, magnetic, and semiconducting materials, but lit is  not limited to those systems.

Some of the key topics to be addressed by both theory and experiments are:

1) discovery and characterization of new superconductors/topological, magnetic, and semiconducting materials,

2) optimization of known quantum materials,

3) investigation of defect induced behavior and transitions,

4) electronics, spintronics, and quantum memory applications,

5) challenges in applying QIS technologies at industrial scale,

6) successes and challenges in integrating next-generation materials into integrated circuits (microchips),

7) the role of material interfaces at the quantum level,

8) high fidelity many-body computational methods to treat quantum materials,

9) applications for quantum computing and quantum simulations.
