QuantAlps
An ecosystem for quantum sciences & technologies 

This research axis focuses on the remarkable properties arising from the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics, often associated with topology, particle interactions, or spatial confinement. Frustrated or low-dimensional magnetic systems, unconventional superconductors, 2D materials, topological materials, correlated electron and photon systems, and quantum fluids and gases constitute new states of matter that require fundamental understanding. Quantum materials are also highly promising as platforms for quantum technologies.
The scientific objectives of this research area are to discover, explain, and control new states of matter and their corresponding electronic and magnetic properties; to encourage the capabilities for synthesis of materials and crystal growth; and to bridge the gap between fundamental studies and quantum devices or more applied research (Mott insulators, magnetocaloric materials, multiferroics, materials with strong spin-orbit coupling, and superconductors . ..).
