    Summary

     

    Two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials, such as graphene and molybdenum disulfide, have great potential for use in future flexible and wearable electronics applications. With traditional silicon-based electronics nearing their theoretical performance limits, nano-electronics made from 2D quantum materials offer breakthrough opportunities for energy-efficient, wearable ubiquitous computation.

    In this project, we will study integration of 2D material electronic devices with ferroelectric (FE) layers to simultaneously achieve low-power and high-speed devices through material and design optimization. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we will select optimal 2D materials for use in the active channels of transistors and develop models to describe the intricate physics of negative capacitance field-effect transistors (NC FETs) based on the FE-dielectric-2D material heterostructure. In the end, the project will develop a numerical simulation tool for 2D material NC FETs and verify our simulations through collaboration with experimental groups.

    Topological Properties of Exciton-Polaritons in a Kagome Lattice as a Solid-state Quantum Simulator

    Summary   In this project, we build a solid-state quantum simulator for engineering a specific Hamiltonian. Quantum simulators are purpose-built devices with little to no need for error correction, thereby making this type of hardware less demanding than universal quantum computers. Our platform consists of exciton-polariton condensates in multiple quantum-wells sandwiched in a semiconductor Bragg […]

    Hybrid Quantum Materials towards Topological Quantum Computing

    Summary   Proximity engineered hybrid materials have shown promise for topological quantum information processing. This form of quantum computing provides a stable, error-tolerant approach for building scalable quantum information processors. Topological quantum computing relies on braiding non-Abelian particles, such as Majorana fermions, which do not exist in nature. One can however use materials engineering to […]

    Repurposing potential drug candidates for the treatment of COVID-19

    Summary The main protease (Mpro) in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has emerged as a promising drug target. The scientific community has produced a large number of crystallographic structures of the protease, which mediates viral replication and transcription. These structures report several fragments with varied chemotypes […]
