Title: NIST Workshop on Quantum Materials in Material Science
NIST is organizing a workshop focused on quantum materials and their potential applications in quantum information science (QIS). The workshop aims to accelerate the discovery and characterization of quantum materials through a synergy between experimental and computational approaches.
Key topics to be addressed include:
1. Discovery and characterization of new superconductors and topological materials
2. Optimization of known quantum materials
3. Investigation of defect-induced behavior and transitions
4. Quantum memory applications
5. Challenges in scaling QIS technologies for industrial use
The workshop will primarily focus on inorganic superconductors and topological materials but is not limited to these classes. The event is scheduled for [date] and will bring together experts from both theory and experimental fields to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in quantum materials research.
The Materials Genome Initiative, which has been successful in expediting the discovery and characterization of energy and structural materials, provides a compelling framework for applying similar approaches to quantum materials. This workshop aims to leverage this initiative to accelerate the development of quantum materials for QIS applications.
