December 2022: Dr. Jain organized a Quantum Workshop in Storrs
Quantum matter and materials have grown to be active areas of modern condensed matter. The fascinating properties of quantum materials might lead to technological applications such as spintronics, quantum technologies, and quantum sensors. The combination of new materials discoveries and the development of new probes of quantum matter has helped shape these topics into an exciting area. Recent dynamic and pumped probe experiments reveal a strong promise of Dynamic Quantum Matter as a new research direction. We strive to measure, understand and predict transient correlations and coherences in quantum materials upon different driving conditions. Therefore, we introduce it as a new topic at this year’s quantum matter conference. We had an active discussion on hidden, entangled, and dynamic orders that emerge in quantum matter and the potential applications beyond it. The main focus for this workshop was on the modeling and experimental observations of Quantum Matter. Overall, the goal of this workshop was to bring together researchers to discuss and highlight emerging topics and develop ideas for future research. The workshop was sponsored by the University of Connecticut, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, and the University of North Florida.
