Driven by the fascination for collective quantum many-body phenomena, at the König group we aim to harvest synergies between quantum materials science and the most recent quantum technological advances. The immediate cycle of synergies between quantum materials and quantum technologies involves the solid-state hardware for many quantum devices and computers, which in turn are used in detecting and simulating novel condensed matter phenomena. On a higher level, a fruitful conceptual cross-pollination between fields leads to a variety of research directions:
- Exotic two-dimensional materials: Gluing quantum spin liquids to superconductors and metals.
- Strong correlations in topological insulators and superconductors: Constructing long-range entanglement.
- Mesoscopic quantum design: Solid-state quantum simulation.
- Quantum computing of, with, and for fermions: gate-based quantum simulators of electrons.
