Understanding and leveraging the robustness of topological superconductivity, along with the unique quantum properties of strongly entangled particles, presents an exciting opportunity for developing new quantum technologies. Initial concepts and platforms, particularly Majorana zero modes at the edges of one-dimensional topological superconductors, have paved the way for a broader range of systems, including unconventional superconductors, spin liquids, and fractional quantum Hall states.
The aim of this meeting is to gather members of the Management Committee and related scientists to report on the ongoing work towards the objectives of the Action and review the progress and findings made within the COST Action SUPERQUMAP toward its specific objectives. It will facilitate exchanges among participants and highlight recent developments. Current quantum technologies, which rely on established fabrication processes, encounter significant challenges in scaling environment-protected superconducting qubits. To overcome these hurdles, a collaborative, research-driven approach that explores the fundamentals of devices and quantum materials is essential. The meeting will set the future path for the Action, and cover but not limited to, the three main lines of work:
Quantum materials: Topological and triplet superconductivity, relationship between electronic correlations, magnetism and unconventional superconducting properties.
New functionalities for sensors and devices: Disorder in low dimensional and low carrier density superconductors. Electronic behavior between the extreme limits of infinity and zero resistance. Transport in hybrid magnetic-superconducting devices, pi- and phi-junction behavior in hybrid heterostructures.
Building quantum systems: Novel two-level systems in superconducting junctions and devices suitable for quantum computation. Method development for coherent manipulation in quantum devices.
