The Division of Materials Research, the Division of Physics, and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences provide support for the Workshop on Midscale Instrumentation for Quantum Materials which will be held on December 5-7 2016 in Arlington Va (http://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/miqm/). The workshop addresses two of the 10 Big ideas of the Director of the National Science Foundation: Quantum Leap and Midscale Instrumentation. The focus is on midscale instrumentation for quantum materials that would support the next quantum revolution, Quantum Leap. The workshop will discuss and describe midscale instrumentation that would advance our understanding and applications of a broad array of quantum materials. These include topological semimetals and insulators, high temperature superconductors, quantum spin liquids, multiferroic materials, nano-structured quantum materials devices, as well as ultra-cold atomic gases realizing novel quantum correlated states of matter. The workshop will focus on midscale instrumentation in the $5M to $60M range that could have transformative impacts on the science and applications of quantum materials. Examples of instrumentation include beam line, sample environment, and detector systems that extend capabilities of existing user facilities, advanced stand-alone instrumentation employing new sources and/or methods to probe quantum materials, new tools for synthesis in bulk or nanostructured forms, quantum simulators based on ultra-cold atoms, and advanced computational platforms, software, and data sharing systems for quantum materials. The outcome of the workshop result in a concise report describing opportunities to stimulate scientific and technological progress in quantum materials through new midscale instrumentation As in the solid state research and development work that gave us the transistor, advances in quantum materials and their applications require a multidisciplinary approach that links the basic science of hard condensed-matter physics to chemistry, materials science, and engineering. The Workshop on Midscale Instrumentation for Quantum Materials has correspondingly broad representation from all areas of science and engineering of advanced electronic materials. The resulting workshop report would provide an overview of midscale instrumentation to accelerate a field of research where fundamental scientific progress has great potential for transformative technological impacts. These would result in the next technological revolutions that is captured in the Quantum Leap idea.

材料研究司、物理司和数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室为将于2016年12月5日至7日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿(http://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/miqm/).)举行的量子材料中型仪器讲习班提供支助研讨会讨论了国家科学基金会主任的十大想法中的两个：量子飞跃和中等规模仪器。重点放在支持下一场量子革命--量子飞跃的量子材料的中型仪器上。研讨会将讨论和描述中型仪器，这些仪器将促进我们对一系列广泛的量子材料的理解和应用。这些包括拓扑半金属和绝缘体、高温超导体、量子自旋液体、多铁材料、纳米结构量子材料器件以及实现物质新量子关联态的超冷原子气体。研讨会将聚焦于500万至6000万美元范围内的中型仪器，这些仪器可能对量子材料的科学和应用产生革命性影响。仪器的例子包括扩展现有用户设施能力的光束线、样品环境和探测器系统，使用新的源和/或方法来探测量子材料的先进的独立仪器，用于以块状或纳米结构形式合成的新工具，基于超冷原子的量子模拟器，以及用于量子材料的先进的计算平台、软件和数据共享系统。研讨会的成果形成了一份简明的报告，描述了通过新的中型仪器促进量子材料科学和技术进步的机会，例如在给我们带来晶体管的固态研究和开发工作中，量子材料及其应用的进步需要多学科的方法，将硬凝聚态物理的基础科学与化学、材料科学和工程学联系起来。相应地，量子材料中型仪器讲习班在先进电子材料科学和工程的所有领域都有广泛的代表性。由此产生的研讨会报告将概述中等规模的仪器设备，以加速一个基础科学进步具有极大潜力产生变革性技术影响的研究领域。这些将导致量子飞跃思想中捕捉到的下一次技术革命。
