The QMat community shares a common scientific vision: to make the crucial transition from fundamental quantum concepts to nanomaterials innovation with real world applications. Our approach relies on three intertwined axes:
(1) Exploring quantum coherence – gaining a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts governing the behavior of matter at small scales;
(2) Exploiting symmetries through controlled systems dimensions– leveraging our synthesis and fabrication expertise in chemistry and materials science to create new types of nanomaterials and to reveal enhanced or novel properties;
(3) Combining properties in nanosystems – where we move from properties to functions, with the goal to develop new smart materials and devices.
