Research
This PREP strives to solve fundamental problems in quantum matter and quantum information science that have vital scientific and technological importance as well as economic and societal impacts.
A multidisciplinary team with coordinated and complementary skills in theory, computation and experiment is assembled into two interdisciplinary groups (IRGs):
IRG1: Driven and strongly interacting quantum matter
- Topological phenomena in driven quantum systems
- Identifying and characterizing quantum spin liquids emerging from Kitaev materials
- Doping Mott insulators to induce topological superconductivity for Kitaev materials and beyond
IRG2: Searching for novel quantum phases in realistic material
The objective of the proposed research is to carry out systematic ab initio electronic structure, multi-orbital tight binding, and continuum-model-based calculations to search and identify novel material platforms and quantum phases in 2D Morié materials, which may exhibit the Moiré flatband landscape.
