Superconducting Van Der Waals Devices for Quantum Technology

Explore the cutting-edge field of superconducting van der Waals devices for quantum technology in this informative lecture by Mandar Deshmukh. Delve into the fascinating world of engineered 2D quantum materials and their potential applications. Learn about emergent electronic, magnetic, and topological phenomena in two-dimensional synthetic structures, and how reduced dimensionality can lead to new electronic band structures and host emergent behaviors. Discover the interplay between electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal structure, symmetry, and topology in these materials. Gain insights into artificially engineered heterostructures, including oxide interfaces, twisted van der Waals materials, and other novel moire or layered materials. Explore topics such as magnetism and topological superconductivity, flat bands and band topology, correlated phenomena in twisted heterostructures, and quantum simulators using engineered 2D materials. This lecture is part of a comprehensive program that brings together physicists and materials scientists with expertise in materials growth, spectroscopies, transport studies, microscopy, and various theoretical approaches.
