This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). California State University Northridge (CSUN) is one of the largest universities in the US with annual enrollment over 40,000 students and is classified as both a Hispanic-serving and Minority-serving institution. Approximately 55% of the total student population is of Hispanic background. CSUN is partnering with the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM) at Caltech with an intent to foster multidisciplinary and innovative research in quantum matter and quantum information science, to educate and train students in cutting-edge quantum research, and to increase recruitment, retention, and degree attainment by members of groups underrepresented in research. Multipronged strategies will be carried out to recruit students from underrepresented groups (URGs). Both undergraduate and graduate students, mostly from URGs, will be involved in the cutting-edge research of quantum matter and information, mentored by the faculty, and will graduate with B.S. and M.S. degrees, respectively. Summer schools will be offered at CSUN introducing undergraduate and graduate students to the exciting world of quantum information science. Research training programs provided by the Caltech IQIM will be offered to CSUN undergraduates. A new set of courses on quantum simulations and quantum computing will be developed. Partnership with industry and national laboratories for student training and internships will also be developed. The integration of research and education will enable students to make informed career choices and improve their ability to participate in post-graduate education.This PREP award aims to address fundamental problems in quantum materials that have vital scientific and tech nonlogical importance as well as economical and societal impacts. A multidisciplinary team with coordinated and complementary skills in theory, computation and experiment is assembled into two interdisciplinary groups (IRGs): IRG1 -- Driven and strongly interacting quantum matter, IRG2 -- Searching for novel quantum phases in realistic materials. IRG1 will tackle fundamental problems in driven and strongly correlated quantum matter which has potential applications in quantum information science. This includes topological phenomena in driven quantum systems, exotic properties of quantum spin liquids emerging from Kitaev materials, and doping Mott insulators to discover unconventional superconductivity for Kitaev materials. IRG2 will focus on searching for material candidates that realize novel quantum phases, including two-dimensional Moiré materials based on graphene, transition-metal trihalides and phosphorous trichalcogenides, and rare-earth tellurides, which may exhibit a plethora of intriguing phases, including superconducting, topological, magnetic, and charge density wave.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。加利福尼亚州立大学诺斯里奇（CSUN）是美国最大的大学之一，年度入学率超过40,000名，并被归类为西班牙裔服务和少数派服务机构。大约55％的学生人数是西班牙裔背景。 CSUN与CALTECH的量子信息和物质研究所（IQIM）合作，目的是促进量子问题和量子信息科学的多学科和创新研究，以教育和培训学生进行尖端量子研究，并通过研究不足的研究成员的成员来提高招聘，保留和学位。将采取多管齐下的策略，以使来自代表性不足的群体（URG）的学生招募学生。本科生和研究生（主要来自URGS）都将参与教职员工指导的量子问题和信息的尖端研究，并将与B.S.毕业。和M.S.学位分别。暑期学校将在CSUN提供，将本科生和研究生介绍给令人兴奋的量子信息科学世界。 Caltech IQIM提供的研究培训计划将提供给CSUN本科生。将开发有关量子模拟和量子计算的新课程。还将开发与行业和国家实验室进行学生培训和互助的合作伙伴关系。研究和教育的整合将使学生能够做出明智的职业选择，并提高他们参加研究生教育的能力。该预备奖旨在解决具有至关重要的科学和技术重要性以及经济和社会影响的量子材料中的基本问题。一个具有协调和互补技能的多学科团队在理论，计算和实验方面被组装成两个跨学科组（IRGS）：IRG1-驱动且强烈相互作用的量子问题，IRG2-搜索现实材料中的新型量子阶段。 IRG1将解决驱动器中的基本问题，并在量子信息科学中具有潜在应用的强烈相关量子问题。这包括驱动量子系统中的拓扑现象，基塔夫材料中出现的量子自旋液体的外来特性以及兴奋剂莫特绝缘子，以发现基塔夫材料的非常规超导性。 IRG2将专注于寻找实现新型量子阶段的候选物质，包括基于石墨烯的二维Moiré材料，过渡金属三卤化物和磷酸元素化以及稀有的牙花化剂，这些材料可能会表现出多种吸引人的阶段，包括超级统计，磁性，磁性繁殖率，既有庞大的葡萄酒，又有巨大的统计范围。使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来支持。
