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

这次研讨会的目标是强调可以解决纳米电子学中的能源挑战的科学机会，摩尔定律即将结束就是一个标志。这是凝聚态物质和材料物理研究的一个新兴前沿。一些具有代表性的机会包括：自旋电子材料、电子电子、拓扑材料、量子信息/计算、多铁材料、量子材料、诸如磁天子、离子和神经形态计算等拓扑激发。研讨会重点介绍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。研讨会参与者将确定新出现的挑战、障碍和瓶颈，以及专题领域未来的研究方向。将准备一份报告，报告草稿将在研讨会期间撰写，并分发给社区并向公众提供。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
