Ultra-Quantum Matter

An artistic impression depicts ultra-quantum matter: from the cold topological matter (blue) to hot, strongly correlated metal (red).

The goal of this collaboration, directed by Ashvin Vishwanath of Harvard University, is to develop the theory of ultra-quantum matter from fundamental characterization and classification to the design for realization and testing of ultra-quantum matter in the lab. To achieve this, it brings together experts in condensed matter physics, high energy physics, quantum information and atomic physics. The ramifications range from the discovery of new phases of matter to revolutionary quantum technologies to tabletop models for elementary particles and potentially even quantum gravity. More information about the collaboration can be found on its website.
