Rationale and Scope:
There is increasing recognition that the interplay between quantum materials and quantum information has the potential to advance both fields. This workshop will address the exciting progress made so far and future research directions in this intersection area. It will engage the communities who are interested in this field from a variety of perspectives and platforms, which include:
- Quantum magnetism
- Quantum Hall systems
- Quantum emulators
- Strange metals
- Topological excitations
- Entanglement witness
The workshop, organized by Rice University’s Extreme Quantum Materials Alliance (eQMA) in collaboration with the Smalley-Curl Institute (SCI), will bring together a diverse pool of theoretical and experimental experts on these topics. Specific topics to be discussed during the workshop include:
- Implications that the properties of quantum materials and quantum emulators may have for advancing quantum information science
- Realization of quantum materials settings that host enhanced quantum entanglement
- The depth to which quantum information tools can characterize and understand the inner workings of quantum materials.
The registration fee is $50 for Rice University attendees and $200 for non-Rice attendees. The registration fee is waived for the invited speakers and eQMA/RCQM/SCI faculty.
Invited talk: 25 + 5 minutes
Contributed talk: 12 + 3 minutes
