DynamiQ · Dynamic Control of Engineered Quantum Phases

Quantum materials hold immense potential, but current engineering methods face limitations in reproducibility, scalability, and design. The DynamiQ project will address these challenges by developing a robust experimental platform for creating artificial quantum materials with precisely tailored electronic properties. We will leverage high-resolution electron-beam lithography to create artificial periodic potentials at the sub-20 nm scale, sculpting the electronic properties of 2D materials. Our research will target exotic phenomena like unconventional superconductivity and topologically protected states, using a multi-modal characterization platform to investigate the relationship between structure and quantum behavior systematically. This research will advance our understanding of quantum materials and contribute to developing next-generation quantum technologies. The grant will fund the recruitment of one Ph.D. student and one postdoc.
