Quantum materials are exploding in condensed-matter, cold-atom physics, materials science. #explainer
The new IOP quantum materials roadmap explores current research, future challenges, technical applications, underlying physics in topological insulators, multiferroics, twisted-‘magic angle’ moiré graphene, superconductors (copper-based and TMD-based), topological semimetals, Majorana states + non-equilibrium phenomena (phew!)
‘Emergent’ phenomena are key to FLEET’s search for ultra-low energy electronics based on quantum materials – eg in research on topological insulators (theme 1), superfluids (theme 2), driven quantum systems (theme 3), 2D materials (technology A), and vdW heterostructures (tech B).
Here’s a handy ’emergent’ explainer courtesy of FLEET’s Kris Helmerson and Andy Martin (University of Melbourne).
