Quantum materials provide a vibrant playground to challenge our comprehension of emerging complex phenomena and a vital foundation for disruptive next-generation technologies. Ongoing advances in rational material design, synthesis approaches, ultrafast optical control, and experimental and theoretical characterization tools can be deployed in a continuous dynamic feedback loop to probe the fundamental nature of complex matter and achieve tunable control of their functional properties.
This Research Topic will showcase recent work in the design and control of quantum materials, including new observations, predictions, and methodologies that further our current understanding of their emerging properties. Emphasis is placed on novel and tunable quantum phenomena which, once developed, have the capacity to supersede current technologies, such as computing, sensing, and memory applications. The ultimate goal of this Research Topic is to facilitate the exchange of ideas between fundamental and applied theoretical, computational, and experimental communities to accelerate the discovery, engineering, and functionalization of quantum materials.
We encourage the submission of original research, reviews and mini-review articles, perspectives, and brief reports pertaining, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Dynamic manipulation of symmetry and symmetry-breaking
- Static symmetry reduction by epitaxy
- Symmetry breaking in the time domain
- Symmetry-informed material database searches
- Computational and analytical frameworks for the “materials toolbox”
- Dimensionality control of quantum phenomena
- Heterostructure approaches to symmetry control
- Advanced characterization of symmetry-broken phases
- Low-symmetry compounds
- Symmetry-guided design of ordered phases
- Topology and superconductivity
- Strongly correlated quantum magnets
- Localization, delocalization, and disorder
- Moiré quantum materials
- Quantum materials synthesis
