Highly Frustrated Magnetism 2018 Conference

非技术性总结该奖项支持将在加州大学戴维斯分校举行的2018年高度挫败磁性会议。该奖项由材料研究部的凝聚态物质和材料理论以及凝聚态物质物理计划共同资助。该会议将汇集来自世界各地的量子磁学领域的约250名领先科学家和学生，以评估该领域和新方向。该领域开发的新材料和实验技术与未来的量子技术（包括量子计算机）相关。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

NONTECHNICAL SUMMARYThis award supports the 2018 Conference on Highly Frustrated Magnetism to be held at the University of California at Davis. The award is jointly funded by the Condensed Matter and Materials Theory and the Condensed Matter Physics programs of the Division of Materials Research. The conference will bring together around 250 leading scientists and students in the field of quantum magnetism from around the world, to assess the field and new directions. The new materials and experimental techniques developed in this field are relevant for future quantum technologies, including quantum computers. The conference will contribute to the training of a new generation of scientists in advanced instrumentation and computational methods.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
