Q-MAT - Presentation
Quantum matter is a concept at the intersection of condensed matter physics, materials science, cold atom physics, and quantum engineering.
Quantum materials exhibit a wealth of emergent phenomena that can persist across a broader range of energy and length scales.
Beyond traditional materials, the concept of quantum matter encompasses a diverse array of systems, including superconductors, graphene, van der Waals heterostructures, topological quantum matter, Weyl semimetals, complex oxides, twisted 2D layers, quantum spin liquids, and laser-cooled atoms.
This program brings together five institutions: ENS-PSL, ESPCI Paris-PSL, Chimie ParisTech-PSL, Observatoire de Paris-PSL, and Collège de France.
This unique collaboration spans a wide range of experimental and theoretical approaches, fostering cross-fertilization and knowledge transfer among the various communities involved.

Our shared goal
Open new research directions and bridge the gap between quantum matter and future quantum technologies.
Exploration of quantum matter in all aspects:
Studying various systems, ranging from correlated materials to twisted two-dimensional structures, will enable us to understand emerging phenomena.
Withint the strong correlations and dimensionality reduction, we will analyze both the effects of electronic interactions and dimensional confinement ,on the quantum properties of materials.
Our interdisciplinary collaboration will promote fruitful exchanges between experimental and theoretical approaches.
We will see how the link between quantum matter and quantum technologies can open up new avenues of research, aimed at connecting advances in quantum matter to applications in quantum technologies.
