DESCRIPTION:The experimental discovery of topological insulators\, the emer
 gence of graphene with exotic properties\, and the exciting optoelectronic
  properties of van der Waals materials\, all have energized researchers fr
 om physics\, materials science and engineering and have brought them under
  the scientific canopy of quantum materials (QMs). 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: PHO36\, RA
