Engineering the Foundation for Scalable Quantum Systems

Progress in quantum information science depends heavily on the development of high-performance materials. This research area is focused on discovering, synthesizing, and characterizing quantum materials that can enable more robust, scalable, and reliable quantum devices.

Materials research includes work on topological insulators, low-noise substrates, defect engineering, and fabrication methods tailored for quantum coherence. By connecting materials discovery with application-driven needs, this team lays the groundwork for next-generation quantum technologies.

Focus Areas:

  • Materials with long coherence times
  • Surface and interface engineering
  • Defect reduction and quantum-grade purity
  • Scalable fabrication for quantum hardware
