This project aims to understand how novel quantum states, such as topological spin liquids, emerge and how to control these emergent properties. Emergence is the observation that collections of objects can display very different properties from the individual objects: a water molecule is not wet; a neuron is not conscious. Understanding and controlling the emergent properties of materials has enormous potential applications from the lossless transport of electricity to next-generation computers. The magnetic systems to be studied are some of the simplest systems that show emergent quantum behaviours. Beyond the intrinsic scientific value of the questions, the exotic states the project seeks to engineer have potential applications in quantum computers.

该项目旨在了解新的量子态，如拓扑自旋液体，是如何出现的，以及如何控制这些涌现的特性。涌现是指观察到物体的集合可以显示出与单个物体非常不同的特性：水分子不是湿的；神经元是没有意识的。理解和控制材料的突发特性具有巨大的潜在应用，从电力的无损传输到下一代计算机。要研究的磁系统是一些表现出涌现量子行为的最简单的系统。除了这些问题的内在科学价值之外，该项目寻求设计的奇异状态在量子计算机中也有潜在的应用。
