Erwin Schrödinger Center for Quantum Science & Technology (ESQ)

The research program called “Correlated Quantum Materials and Solid State Quantum Systems” brings together two subfields of quantum physics: exotic forms of correlated quantum matter and quantum devices. From ISTA, the groups lead by Zhanybek Alpichshev, Andrew Higginbotham, Georgios Katsaros, Kimberly Modic, and Maksym Serbyn are taking part in this project. The program is coordinated by Prof. Paschen from TU Wien. German partners are yet to be decided upon by the DFG. “The future of quantum computing requires the discovery of topological properties in new materials, such as spin liquids or superconductors. Our approach is multifaceted, combining nano-fabrication of next-generation quantum materials with extremely high magnetic fields to uncover these exotic properties,” Kimberly Modic explains. This research could help develop novel devices and possible applications for quantum computers – see this dossier on quantum computers for more insights into ISTA’s research on this topic.
