Materials Science Research for Quantum Information Science
Abstract
This proposal works for a 2-day workshop to bring together researchers in Materials Science and Quantum Information Science (QIS) to better understand the materials challenges faced in the field of QIS, and to brainstorm fresh approaches to overcoming materials-related limitations. We will focus on the impacts of material defects and interfaces-surfaces and potential challenges for practical material growth for applications of encoding quantum information. The workshop will explore methods to close the feedback loop of “materials simulation�, “materials growth�, “materials characterization� and “quantum device fabrication and benchmarking�. We aim to develop research innovations that disrupt the current methodologies and approaches in synthesis and characterization of materials for the realization of practical solid-state quantum devices that are robust to environmental disturbances (e.g. electromagnetic noise, thermal noise, and cosmic radiation) that induce material degradation and decoherence., and ways of finding correlations between the characterization of materials, defects and interfaces and the fidelity of quantum gates in fault-tolerant quantum computing approaches.
