The field of quantum science and technology focusing specifically on quantum simulation deals with the development of novel quantum systems and hardware to realize new approaches to understanding and controlling complex quantum many-body systems on different time and energy scales. "Programmable quantum simulators based on 2D materials" (PQS2D) will build a specialized quantum machine - a quantum simulator - for controllably emulating the complex behavior of quantum systems. Programable devices will be implemented in an emerging hardware platform based on 2D materials, where artificial lattices of interacting elements will be represented by moiré heterostructures and gated quantum dots (atomistic and electrostatically defined). As a cross-cutting theme PQS2D will also develop large-area high-quality 2D materials and theoretical models to understand them. PQS2D has the potential to solve a broad range of important outstanding problems on quantum phases of matter (correlated insulators, superconductors, Wigner crystals, topological phases, spin liquids, magnetism, etc.). Beyond the fundamental science, simulators can impact technology development for example by understanding the origin of high-temperature superconductivity or optimizing the performance of quantum materials (semiconductors, magnets, ferroelectrics, topological materials) for applications in electronics and optoelectronics. PQS2D is a large-scale project coordinated among three Canadian quantum hubs (9 research groups, 5 universities) working closely with four partners that will support the development of a quantum simulating platform while training the next generation quantum workforce.

量子科学和技术领域专门关注量子模拟，涉及新型量子系统和硬件的开发，以实现在不同时间和能量尺度上理解和控制复杂量子多体系统的新方法。 “基于二维材料的可编程量子模拟器”（PQS2D）将构建一个专门的量子机器——量子模拟器——用于可控地模拟量子系统的复杂行为。可编程设备将在基于 2D 材料的新兴硬件平台中实现，其中相互作用元素的人工晶格将由莫尔异质结构和门控量子点（原子和静电定义）表示。作为一个跨领域主题，PQS2D 还将开发大面积高质量二维材料和理论模型来理解它们。 PQS2D 具有解决物质量子相（相关绝缘体、超导体、维格纳晶体、拓扑相、自旋液体、磁性等）的广泛重要突出问题的潜力。除了基础科学之外，模拟器还可以通过了解高温超导性的起源或优化电子和光电子应用中的量子材料（半导体、磁铁、铁电体、拓扑材料）的性能来影响技术发展。 PQS2D 是一个大型项目，由三个加拿大量子中心（9 个研究小组、5 所大学）与四个合作伙伴密切合作，支持量子模拟平台的开发，同时培训下一代量子劳动力。
