Condensed Matter and Quantum Materials Visioning Workshop 2023

The Condensed Matter & Quantum Materials Visioning Workshop will explore how the ALS can advance the design and understanding of new synthetic materials and their electronic, spin, chemical, and physical properties. We solicit ideas from visionaries and experts in quantum materials to discuss challenges and opportunities for the future of the ALS, taking advantage of the upcoming upgrade to coherent light to address both fundamental physics and applications of condensed matter physics related to spin and quantum properties of materials, including but not limited to material engineering and discovery (e.g., atomically engineered multilayers, 2D materials, and materials that exhibit unusual topological and correlated electronic phases), multimodal characterization, application of machine learning and artificial intelligence to enable new acquisition methodology, sample environment control for in situ electronic phase tuning and operando characterization, and advanced instrumentation to extract novel response functions.
