Title: Making Compound Semiconductors a New Quantum Materials Platform
Abstract: Semiconductors have been the 'go-to' material over the past five decades for classical information science and microelectronics technology. They may very well continue their primacy in the quantum era. Indeed, by making semiconductor heterostructures a new quantum materials platform, future quantum information science (QIS) and quantum microelectronics applications can build on, and be compatible with, the sophistication and maturity of state-of-the-art semiconductor synthesis and processing. In this talk, I will present our recent work aiming to advance the field of artificial quantum materials for QIS and quantum microelectronics by exploring electron correlation physics and topological phenomena in artificial moiré superlattices composed entirely of conventional compound semiconductor heterostructures. We will show that these artificial quantum materials can enable discovery of new quantum phenomena.
