Research Projects
•Thrust 1: A materials discovery effort in two-dimensional compounds in search of materials that could support Majorana zero modes as well as materials that could support defect structures suitable as qubits.
•Thrust 2: Exploration of architectures for topological quantum computation by investigating both superconducting Majoranaqubits and robust platforms for braiding, consisting of new “meta-materials” built of arrays of Majorana qubits.
•Thrust 3: Investigation of properties of hybrid metal-organic qubits based on transition-metal centers in graphene, and molecular crystals of polyaromatic complexes with transition- metal atoms at their centers.
•Thrust 4: Development of tensor-network and semiclassical approaches to study decoherence effects in the presence of random and dispersive spin baths, and NV centers in diamond.
