“Our integrated research programs are transitioning fundamental discoveries in materials and computing to new quantum technologies and their applications.” — QSC Director Travis Humble
Pictured: The Quantum Thin Film and Characterization Lab at Oak Ridge National Laboratory where QSC researchers combine molecular beam epitaxy for quantum thin film and heterostructure synthesis with characterization tools to better understand materials at the level of atoms and electrons. This lab is central to the QSC’s efforts to develop quantum material platforms for quantum computing and sensing applications. In this image, Matthew Brahlek, Robert Moore and Qiangsheng Lu are developing topological superconducting materials for quantum computing applications in support of the Quantum Science Center headquartered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
