Challenges in advancing our understanding of atomic-like quantum systems: Theory and experiment

Abstract

Abstract: Quantum information processing and quantum sensing is a central topic for researchers who are part of the Materials Research Society and the Quantum Staging Group is providing leadership and guidance in this context. We convened a workshop before the 2022 MRS Spring Meeting and covered four topics to explore challenges that need to be addressed to further promote and accelerate the development of materials with applications in quantum technologies. This article captures the discussions at this workshop and refers to the pertinent literature. Graphical abstract: (Figure presented.). © The Author(s) 2024.
