The ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� campus recently hosted the Quantum Materials Synthesis (QMS) Workshop organized by ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Physics Professor Gang Cao. Supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Colorado Boulder, the workshop drew over 100 participants including 32 invited speakers. The QMS Workshop brought together physicists, materials scientists, chemists, and theorists in the quantum materials community.

The workshop was designed to address the critical need for communication and collaboration as scientists work to tackle quantum materials challenges. Professor Gang Cao commented “Quantum materials synthesis is a rapidly growing, extraordinarily active community, especially in recent years. To a large extent, quantum materials synthesis is at the heart of quantum technologies.” Describing the importance of QMS, Professor Cao added “no clear-cut material realizations of many long sought-after novel quantum states are a stark reminder that daunting material challenges will inevitably hinder advances in quantum technologies, such as realistic quantum computers.”

Professor Robert Cava of Princeton University stated, “This Workshop is a historic event.” To promote further collaborations, plans are underway to publish the QMS 2023 Workshop proceedings with World Scientific, and Prof. R. Ramesh, Vice President for Research at Rice University, plans to host the next QMS Workshop at Rice University.

Professors Victor Gurarie and Michael Hermele To Study Ultra-Quantum Matter in a New Simons Collaboration

Professors Michael Hermele (Left) and Victor Gurarie (Right).

Physics Professors Victor Gurarie and Michael Hermele have joined the newly established Simons Collaboration on Ultra-Quantum Matter. The collaboration, led by Ashvin Vishwanath at Harvard (Director) and by Hermele (Deputy Director), will study fundamentally quantum mechanical behavior arising in systems of a large number of electrons or atoms. Such ultra-quantum matter (UQM), via its robust, non-local quantum entanglement, defies conventional expectations that quantum effects are important only in very small systems. UQM allows for entirely new physical properties, which may help future technologies by enabling the nonlocal storage of quantum information, and the creation of quantum materials with new functionalities.

This new effort is an $8M four-year award, funded by the Simons Foundation, that will support a team of seventeen leading theoretical physicists at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� and eleven other institutions. The collaboration is one of twelve supported under the Simons Collaborations in Mathematics and Physical Sciences program, which aims to “stimulate progress on fundamental scientific questions of major importance in mathematics, theoretical physics and theoretical computer science.”

“We are excited that CU physicists are participating in this Simons Collaboration," Department of Physics Chair John Cumalat said. "It is a unique effort that brings new visibility to our campus and to our outstanding theoretical quantum physics research programs at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��.”

“The inclusion of Victor and Michael in this collaboration is a reflection of the high regard in which our quantum faculty are held,” said Terri Fiez, Vice Chancellor for Research & Innovation. “This is exactly the kind of research partnership that our CUbit Quantum Initiative aims to boost.”

In a notable reversal of the trend towards increased specialization, recent breakthroughs in the theory of UQM have brought together physicists working in different domains. This is reflected in the UQM collaboration team which consists of condensed matter and high energy theorists, as well as atomic and quantum information experts, who will work together on discovering the properties of new forms of UQM and help enable their realization in the laboratory. This interdisciplinary approach echoes that of the Center for Theory of Quantum of Matter (CTQM) at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��, of which Gurarie and Hermele are both Fellows. Their work in the collaboration will benefit from related efforts in the Department of Physics, Department of Mathematics, JILA, CTQM, and the CUbit Quantum Initiative.

Read Paper Now

A review Professor Patricia Rankin co-authored with Dr. Donna Caccamise of the Institute of Cognitive Science at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� was just released at the Toyko GS10 Gender Summit. This paper provides a broad review of evidence-based research, underlying theories, and interventions related to women’s representation in the workforce.

The paper discusses the issues that contribute to creating a work culture that can drive women from the workforce, particularly from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related fields. The assertion here is that achieving a workforce fully inclusive of women, including at the leadership levels is desirable, and that this will require looking beyond laws and policies to address the biases that women face as well as practical concerns such as how to combine family life with a career. A recent APS BackPage by Professor Rankin highlights some of the arguments in the paper.

Group page: Our research is focussed on chemical reaction dynamics and mechanism in solution and at surfaces, and allied phenomena such as vibrational energy flow. Our weapons are analytic theory, classical and quantum dynamics, quantum chemistry and simulations. Topics of current interest include water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction, charge transfer reactions at interfaces, photochemical conical intersection dynamics, hydrogen bond dynamics of water next to DNA--especially in connection with anti-cancer drug intercalation, and biological proton transfers
