#QMat - Materials for Quantum Technology

The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics recognized experiments with entangled photons that underlie quantum technology. This technology extends well beyond the optical domain into magnetism, superconductivity, and topological materials. The impact and application of these advances are intimately connected to materials, interactions, and their integration into functional circuitry. That is why the QMat symposium is focused on materials science and nanofabrication that aim to advance quantum technology.

The QMat symposium will provide a forum for discussing cutting-edge advances in materials design and experimental studies of field-matter interactions. These include light-matter interactions such as single photon emission, superradiance, plasmonics, polaritonics, and spectroscopic methods of their investigation. Topological materials with exotic electronic states, magnetic and spintronic phenomena at the 2D limit, and experimental approaches for their visualization and study. We seek contributions addressing new concepts in realizing, studying, and applying these phenomena.
