Non-technical Abstract: The Fundamentals of Quantum Materials Winter School and Workshop focuses on the synthesis, characterization and electronic modelling of quantum materials. The program includes two major elements: i) the school providing pedagogical training to students and early career scientists, and ii) a workshop event organized to maximize the exposure of participants to the forefront of current research into quantum materials, including presentations and laboratory visits. This approach results in an impactful mix of pedagogical background and practical training for junior scientists. Technical Abstract: The program begins with a school program during which undergraduate and graduate students as well as junior scientists/postdocs receive instruction in quantum materials synthesis and characterization, and is followed by a one-day workshop attended by all school attendees where senior researchers present high-level talks on recent developments. The lectures are recorded and publicly available online. In 2020 the school will concentrate on the topic of "Exotic and Topological Superconductors" and will feature leading experts as invited lecturers. The structure of the school includes mornings of pedagogical lectures with afternoons devoted to practical demonstrations in laboratories in the University of Maryland's Quantum Material Center. The school also includes a visit to the NIST Center for Neutron Research in Gaithersburg, MD, and a poster session attended by senior scientists. The Winter School is committed to diversity and inclusion, and has been proactive in promoting the participation of junior scientists and underrepresented minorities in quantum materials research. An active public outreach effort is implemented to share learning materials with members of the 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.

摘要：量子材料基础冬季研修班侧重于量子材料的合成、表征和电子建模。该计划包括两个主要元素：i)学校为学生和早期职业科学家提供教学培训，ii)组织研讨会活动，以最大限度地使参与者接触到当前量子材料研究的前沿，包括演讲和实验室参观。这种方法为初级科学家提供了教学背景和实践培训的有效结合。技术摘要：该项目开始于一个学校项目，在此期间，本科生和研究生以及初级科学家/博士后接受量子材料合成和表征的指导，随后是一个为期一天的研讨会，由所有学校的参与者参加，高级研究人员就最近的发展进行高层会谈。这些讲座被录下来并在网上公开。2020年，学校将专注于“外来和拓扑超导体”的主题，并将邀请顶尖专家担任讲师。学校的结构包括上午的教学讲座，下午致力于在马里兰大学量子材料中心的实验室进行实际演示。学校还包括访问位于马里兰州盖瑟斯堡的NIST中子研究中心，以及由资深科学家参加的海报会议。冬季学校致力于多样性和包容性，并积极促进青年科学家和少数群体参与量子材料研究。我们积极推行外展工作，与市民分享学习资料。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
