Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Research within the M2QM Center ranges from the synthesis and characterization of emergent new molecular materials to a systematic computational understanding of their many-body quantum behaviors. Two primary technological challenges are being addressed: 1) how to create quantum bits (qubits) for intrinsically quantum computing, and 2) how to replace elements of traditional computers and sensors with intrinsically quantum, molecule-based devices that are energy efficient as well as fast and adaptive. Achieving these aims requires synergistic collaborations between computational scientists and experimental chemists and physicists.
