Quantum Matter for Quantum Technologies
Workshop, May 21st - 23rd 2024
Quantum materials hold the key to unlocking the next frontier of quantum advancements, and at the forefront of this transformation are innovative Josephson junction concepts designed to harness the inherent properties of these quantum materials. This includes pioneering approaches such as integrating Josephson junctions into 2D materials, exploring the intriguing realm of twisted bilayers, devising semiconductor-based superconducting qubits, understanding novel phenomena in chiral and nodal superconductors, just to name a few. Within this diverse landscape, these developments bring forth a wealth of advanced functionalities, including the ability to fine-tune quantum systems through electric gate control, compatibility with magnetic fields, and the exploration of unconventional Josephson potentials.
In this workshop, our vision is to nurture collaborative synergy among diverse scientific communities that have been somewhat disconnected. This collaborative effort aims to foster innovation and deepen our comprehension of various facets leading to novel qubit concepts based on exotic Josephson potentials, novel properties of Josephson quantum matter and the exploration of topological effects. Additionally, we aspire to delve into recent proposals that revolve around unconventional superconductivity. Our shared goal is to establish a new technological paradigm within the realm of quantum technologies, pushing the boundaries of what is currently achievable with standard superconducting circuits and unlocking the full potential of quantum materials and Josephson junctions.
This workshop is organized by SPICE as part of the Gutenberg International Conference Center (GICC) at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU). The GICC is funded through the German Research Foundation’s (DFG) university allowance in the Excellence Strategy program and aims at fostering JGU as a national and international research hub. By organizing regular conferences and workshops in fields of excellent JGU research, the GICC provides a platform to build interest networks and collaborations – to promote exchange and dialog among academics and research groups from all over the world.
