Engineering exotic phases in two-dimensional (2D) materials

The unusual physics of electrons in two dimensions (2D) has given rise to a half-century of novel physics and technology, historically emerging at interfaces between conventional semiconductors. Two breakthroughs in the 2000s dramatically broadened this field.

Atomistic approach to emergent properties of disordered materials

Discovering new materials for emerging technologies by utilizing the unique and surprising effects of the structural, chemical, magnetic, and electronic disorder.

Pushing the boundaries of Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing by Focusing on Quantum Materials

The goal of this Grand Challenge is to devise quantum algorithms that, in their simplest instances, can be demonstrated with existing or near-future hardware, and with moderate further scaling up can lead to computational gains beyond existing classical computer hardware.
