Quantum Materials

Quantum materials researchers are at the forefront of engineering materials – including superconducting materials, topological insulators, and ultra-cold atoms – optimized for a broad range of functional uses. Theorists and experimentalists are working together to pioneer ways to adapt and optimize materials while overcoming their disadvantages. Quantum materials research links together a wide spectrum of areas, allowing theory, experiments, and fabrication to come together to both understand and employ these unique properties for scientific applications, such as aircraft development and scientific optical tools.
