Organizers: Sufei Shi, Yongtao Cui, Zhenglu Li, Benjamin Hunt, and PQI
Recent developments in two-dimensional (2D) moiré superlattices, particularly the emergence of robust generalized Wigner crystal states, have established powerful platforms for engineering and exploring many-body quantum phenomena. Compared to systems such as cold atoms and trapped ions, 2D moiré superlattices offer a scalable and flexible route for analog quantum simulations and quantum emitter arrays.
The goal of this multidisciplinary workshop is to convene experts from condensed matter physics, atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) Physics, materials science and engineering, electrical engineering, and other related disciplines to assess the current state of the field and explore collaborative opportunities that advance quantum information science and engineering (QISE) using these unique 2D systems.
