Quantum materials

His visit highlighted the breadth of our world-class research and the people and collaborations that make it possible. A key theme of the day: how SLAC and the National Labs are advancing AI to accelerate discovery.

The team watched how a strained strontium titanate membrane crossed into ferroelectric – and quantum – territory. 

Check out our quantum explainers to learn more about the funky quantum realm and how SLAC researchers are advancing this field.

The first measurement of its kind   will enable researchers to evaluate electron dynamics in a new range of super-small particles. 

A SLAC study shows a process called atomic relaxation offers a new way to explore quantum states in these puzzling materials.

The method could lead to the development of new materials with tailored properties, with potential applications in fields such as climate change, quantum computing and drug design.

During her fellowship she will continue research that aims to deepen our understanding of quantum materials.

The team developed a groundbreaking method that harnesses the structure of light to twist and tweak the properties of quantum materials. 

In a new study, SLAC researchers suggest a small-scale solution could be the key to solving a large-scale mystery.

Strongly interacting electrons in quantum materials carry heat and charge in a way that’s surprisingly similar to what individual electrons do in normal metals, a SLAC/Stanford study finds.

With up to a million X-ray flashes per second, 8,000 times more than its predecessor, it transforms the ability of scientists to explore atomic-scale, ultrafast phenomena that are key to a broad range of applications, from quantum materials to clean...
