Due to their unique properties, quantum materials (QMs) are a hotbed for ground-breaking research, offering many scientific and technological opportunities. Our industrial partners, QVI/IPL and Axis Photonique, would like to take advantage of the latest advances in QM science to develop new quantum technologies for applications in quantum computing and quantum simulations. They are especially interested in the control of vacuum effects, whose origin lies in the fluctuations of the electromagnetic vacuum field and light-matter coupling, which will enable applications in quantum information, nano- and optoelectronics, detectors and sensors.Our industrial partners wish to strengthen their capabilities on the synthesis/growth of QMs and their analysis. This will be realized through the proposed Alliance project, (i) by developing expertise on preparing and characterizing new heterostructural or functionalized materials, and (ii) by supporting the development of measurement techniques to probe their dynamics, using two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy and high-order harmonic spectroscopy. The proposed project will develop new QMs (heterostructures), including functionalized organic semiconductors, whose ultrafast phonon dynamics will be studied by advanced ultrafast spectroscopy and high-harmonic spectroscopy. The project will enable QVI/IPL to design quantum processes for many applications, including quantum information science. It will also result in a new product for Axis Photonique that is expected to prove crucial for the characterization of QMs, both of which will be important advances in the field of quantum technologies.

由于其独特的性质，量子材料（QM）成为突破性研究的温床，提供了许多科学和技术机会。我们的工业合作伙伴 QVI/IPL 和 Axis Photonique 希望利用 QM 科学的最新进展来开发用于量子计算和量子模拟应用的新量子技术。他们对真空效应的控制特别感兴趣，其根源在于电磁真空场的涨落和光与物质的耦合，这将使量子信息、纳米和光电子学、探测器和传感器等领域的应用成为可能。我们的工业合作伙伴希望加强他们在质量管理的合成/增长及其分析方面的能力。这将通过拟议的联盟项目来实现，（i）通过开发制备和表征新异质结构或功能化材料的专业知识，以及（ii）支持开发测量技术来探测其动态，使用二维相干光谱和高光谱阶谐波光谱。拟议的项目将开发新的 QM（异质结构），包括功能化有机半导体，其超快声子动力学将通过先进的超快光谱和高次谐波光谱进行研究。该项目将使 QVI/IPL 能够为许多应用（包括量子信息科学）设计量子过程。它还将为 Axis Photonique 带来一款新产品，预计该产品对于 QM 的表征至关重要，这两者都将是量子技术领域的重要进步。
