As part of the JARVIS workshops series at NIST, we are pleased to announce that the second Quantum Matters in Materials Science (QMMS) workshop will be held virtually on January 31 - February 1, 2023.

We will update with a detailed agenda soon. The workshop page and direct registration link is below. There is no registration fee, but please register only if you plan to attend the workshop.

Workshop Description

All materials are inherently quantum in nature, but only when quantum phenomena manifest at the classical scale can we hope to leverage their properties for applications. The Materials Genome Initiative represents a compelling approach to investigate quantum materials and accelerate their development for quantum information systems (QIS) or other practical industrial applications. In order for this approach to be successful, it is essential to have good synergy between experimental and computational work. This workshop aims at streamlining this effort. To make the workshop as effective as possible, we plan to mainly focus on 2D and 3D inorganic superconductor, topological, magnetic and electronic materials, but we are 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) Higher order many-body computational methods to treat quantum materials.

The registration for the workshop is free and open to the public. Although the registration is free, please note that the maximum number of attendees are limited, and priority will be given to those with early registration. We will send the conference video link to the registered participants only.

If registered participants are interested in presenting a short (~15 minute) lightning talk, please send name, affiliation, title, and abstract to [email protected] no later than 12/2/2022. 

Please feel free to share this registration link and information with your friends and colleagues who might be interested.

Best Regards,
