Enabling Quantum Leap: Convergent Approach to the Challenges of Moore's Law National Science Foundation, Division of Materials Research, Condensed Matter Physics Program Workshop

本次研讨会的目标是突出科学的机会，可以解决能源的挑战，在纳米电子学一般，象征着即将结束的摩尔定律。这是凝聚态物质和材料物理学研究的一个新兴前沿。一些有代表性的机会包括：自旋材料，Valleytronics，拓扑材料，量子信息/计算，多铁性材料，量子材料，拓扑激发，如磁skyrmion，离子和神经形态计算。 研讨会强调了这些不同方向的最新进展，确定了主要障碍，里程碑，指标以及机会，并促进了跨传统研究边界的互动。它还将解决研究基础设施需求和劳动力发展问题。讲习班参加者将确定新出现的挑战、障碍和瓶颈以及专题领域今后的研究方向。将准备一份报告，在研讨会期间撰写报告草稿，并分发给社区和公众。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

The goal of this workshop is to highlight scientific opportunities that can address the energy challenges in nanoelectronics in general, as symbolized by the coming end of Moore's law. This is an emerging frontier of research in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. Some representative opportunities include the following: Spintronic materials, Valleytronics, Topological materials, Quantum information / computation, Multiferroic materials, Quantum materials, Topological excitations such as magnetic skyrmions, Ionics and neuromorphic computation. The workshop highlights the latest progresses in these diverse directions, identify major hurdles, milestones, metrics, as well as opportunities, and facilitate interactions across traditional research boundaries. It will also address research infrastructure needs and workforce development. Workshop participants will identify emerging challenges, obstacles and bottlenecks as well as future directions of research in the topical areas. A report will be prepared, with draft report written during the workshop, and distributed to the community and made available to general public.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.
