QMs offer the exciting promise of new applications such as dissipationless electronics using topo logical currents and quantum spins\, secure quantum computing and communic ation\, and of different realms in energy harvesting using photovoltaics a nd thermoelectrics. Before harnessing some of these exciting applications\ , not only advances in the fundamental understanding of QMs are required\, but also practical solutions to the myriad material challenges are impera tive. This talk will cover a general introduction to QMs\, their functions \, synthesis & characterization\, and an assessment of their realistic app lication potential in the near-to-mid-term.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE North Jersey PHO\, RAS\, MTT/AP Chapters\; IEEE METSAC\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Venka taraman (“Swami”) Swaminathan\, \n\nWebinar\, Virtual meeting\, New Je rsey\, United States LOCATION:Webinar\, Virtual meeting\, New Jersey\, United States ORGANIZER:nchand@ieee.org SEQUENCE:14 SUMMARY:A Materials Science Perspective of Quantum Materials URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/231856 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p align="justify">The experimental discovery of topological insulators\, the emergence of graphene with exotic propert ies\, and the exciting optoelectronic properties of van der Waals material s\, all have energized researchers from physics\, materials science and en gineering and have brought them under the scientific canopy of quantum mat erials (QMs).
