Quantum materials are essential to the technologies of our modern world. This research program addresses two major areas of quantum materials research. One is the potential for discovery and understanding of superconductors operating at near room temperature. Superconductors are currently used in MRI machines in hospitals and are being developed for power transmission cables and magnetically-levitated high speed trains, among other applications. The current generation of materials only operates at very low temperature near -270

量子材料对我们现代世界的技术至关重要。本研究计划涉及量子材料研究的两个主要领域。一个是发现和理解在接近室温下工作的超导体的潜力。超导体目前用于医院的核磁共振成像仪，并正在开发用于电力传输电缆和磁悬浮高速列车等应用。目前这一代的材料只能在零下270度附近的极低温度下工作
