项目摘要

We propose a systematic program to discover and validate new quantum materials with desirable properties for applications in quantum computing, quantum sensing, energy storage/transmission and communication. Our approach is to employ density functional theory (DFT) methods to design previously unknown or unappreciated materials with physical properties (structure, band structure, magnetism & superconductivity) of interest. We will synthesize these materials and validate their physical properties with a broad range of cutting-edge techniques, in-house at McMaster University, at large international user facilities (for experiments with muons and neutrons) and at the laboratory of our international collaborator (angle-resolved photoelectronspectroscopy). This proposal will build on our existing expertise in quantum materials discovery and Canadian investments in advanced characterization, strengthening Canada's position as a global leader in quantum materials. Ultimately, this work will lead to the development of new quantum materials which will enable technologies with applications in computation, energy and healthcare.

我们提出了一个系统计划来发现和验证具有理想特性的新量子材料，用于量子计算、量子传感、能量存储/传输和通信领域的应用。我们的方法是采用密度泛函理论（DFT）方法来设计以前未知或未被重视的具有感兴趣的物理特性（结构、能带结构、磁性和超导性）的材料。我们将在麦克马斯特大学内部、大型国际用户设施（用于μ介子和中子实验）以及我们的国际合作者实验室（角度-分辨光电子能谱）。该提案将建立在我们在量子材料发现方面的现有专业知识和加拿大在先进表征方面的投资的基础上，巩固加拿大作为量子材料全球领导者的地位。最终，这项工作将导致新量子材料的开发，从而使技术能够应用于计算、能源和医疗保健。
