The 1st International Conference on Prospective Quantum Technology: Science and Applications

Engineered quantum materials for quantum technology

Over the past 50 years, two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems have served as a key material platform for the study of intriguing quantum phenomena in engineered material systems.
More recently, scientists have found that it is possible to fabricate atomically thin van der Waals (vdW) layered materials. In these atomically thin materials, quantum physics allows electrons to move effectively only in a 2D space. Moreover, by stacking these 2D quantum materials, it is also possible to create atomically thin vdW heterostructures with a wide range of interfacial electronic and optical properties. Novel 2D electronic systems realized in vdW atomic stacks have served as an engineered quantum materials platform for quantum technologies. In this talk, we will discuss several research initiatives aimed at realizing emergent physical phenomena that can be exploited for quantum technologies. Topics include the realization of topological superconductivity hybridizing quantum Hall and superconductivity, twist engineering of moire vdW systems, and semiconducting exciton condensations for novel optoelectronics.

Quantum Engineering of Superconducting Qubits

Superconducting qubits are coherent artificial atoms assembled from electrical circuit elements and microwave optical components. Their lithographic scalability, compatibility with microwave control, and operability at nanosecond time scales all converge to make the superconducting qubit a highly attractive candidate for the constituent logical elements of a quantum information processor. Over the past decade, spectacular improvements in the manufacturing and control of these devices have moved the superconducting qubit modality from the realm of scientific curiosity to the threshold of technical reality. In this talk, we present recent progress, challenges, and opportunities ahead in the engineering of larger scale processors based on superconducting qubits.

Quantum Computing with Ternary Logic and Beyond

Traditional models of gate-based quantum computation rely on an architecture of entangled spin-1/2 systems, each representing a quantum bit which can be placed in a superposition of “up” and “down.” Typically, physical systems, such as superconducting circuits, natively have more than two quantized levels, and it is thus possible to consider computing with ternary logical operations, or using even more levels. Such encodings promise access to a larger computational space with fewer physical elements and a shorter path to achieving quantum advantage over classical hardware, albeit at the expense of engineering coherence and control in a more complex quantum system. I will present recent experimental results on superconducting qutrits and ququarts, focusing on novel entangling gates, benchmarking methods, and quantum simulations.

Quantum acoustics: Quantum mechanics with sound

Andrew N Cleland
Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago, Chicago IL 60637 USA

Phonons, the quantum particles of sound waves in solids, represent the collective motion of astronomical numbers of atoms. While initially phonons served as a convenience for calculations of heat capacity, heat transport and particle scattering, recent developments in my group have shown that phonons can in fact be used as carriers of quantum information, with properties very similar to photons. In this talk I will some of the results from my group’s research, where we use superconducting qubits for the on-demand generation, storage, and detection of individual microwave-frequency phonons in an acoustic resonator; use phonons to transmit quantum states and generate quantum entanglement; demonstrate a single-phonon interferometer and a quantum information process known as “quantum erasure”; and most recently demonstrate the acoustic Hong-Ou-Mandel effect with phonons, illustrating the wave-particle duality fundamental to quantum mechanics. Interestingly, this last development points to the possible development of a phonon-based version of linear optical quantum computing, which could be called linear mechanical quantum computing.

Quantum archeology: Asking quantum systems what they did to get where they are

One of the most famous tidbits of received wisdom about quantum mechanics is that one "cannot ask" how a particle got to where it was finally observed, e.g., which path of an interferometer a photon took before it reached the screen. What, then, do present observations tell us about the state of the world in the past? I will describe two experiments looking into aspects of this “quantum retrodiction."

The first experiment I will describe addresses a century-old controversy: that of the tunneling time. Since the 1930s, and more heatedly since the 1980s, the question of how long a particle spends in a classically forbidden region before being transmitted has been a subject of debate. Using Bosecondensed Rubidium atoms cooled down to a nanoKelvin, we have now measured just how long they spend inside an optical beam which acts as a “tunnel barrier” for them. I will describe these ongoing experiments, as well as proposals we are refining to study exactly what happens during the time it takes to “collapse” an atom to be in the barrier.

I will also introduce some of our more recent experiments, which revisit the common picture that when light slows down in glass, or a cloud of atoms, it is because the photons “get virtually absorbed” before being sent back along their way. We have carried out an experiment that lets us distinguish between the time spent by transmitted photons and by photons which are eventually absorbed, asking the question “how much time are atoms caused to spend in the excited state by photons which are not absorbed?”

brief CV

Professor Aephraim Steinberg holds the rank of University Professor of Physics at the University of Toronto, and currently serves as Director of the Quantum Information Science program at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. He has been working on the foundations of quantum mechanics (experimental quantum optics and ultracold atoms) for over 30 years. After obtaining his B.Sc. at Yale University in 1988, working with Ed Hinds, he spent a year working with future Nobel laureate Serge Haroche at the École Normale Supérieure before moving to Berkeley to do graduate work with Ray Chiao. Completed in 1994, Steinberg’s thesis would become famous for experimentally showing that a single photon could tunnel across a quantum barrier seemingly “faster than light,” and he was awarded the American Physical Society’s 1996 prize for best doctoral thesis in atomic, molecular, or optical physics.

Professor Steinberg has since pioneered multiple applications of entangled photons and developed novel theoretical approaches to understand quantum tunneling times (the principal experimental paper from his thesis has been cited over 1,000 times, and his main, sole-authored, theory result over 300 times). Following completion of his doctorate, Professor Steinberg held two post-doctoral positions, one with Elisabeth Giacobino and Claude Fabre at the Université de Paris VI and one with Bill Phillips, another future Nobel laureate, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. These posts allowed him to expand his research portfolio to include laser-cooled atoms as well as entangled photons. In 1996, Professor Steinberg joined the University of Toronto and subsequently won several awards, including a Polanyi Prize in 1997, a Premier’s Research Excellence Award in 1999, the CAP Herzberg Medal in 2006, the Rutherford Medal of the Royal Society of Canada in 2006, and a McLean and Steacie fellowship in 2007. Professor Steinberg has been a visiting professor at the Universität Wien, the Collège de France, the University of Queensland, Sapienza Università di Roma, and Hokkaido University; and has delivered numerous invited lectures and keynotes at around the world. He is co-founder and sometime Director of U of T’s Centre for Quantum Information & Quantum Control. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK), the American Physical Society, Optica (formerly OSA), and the Royal Society of Canada.

Professor Steinberg’s research group is known for their accomplishments using both entangled photons and ultracold atoms to study foundational quantum physics, quantum metrology, and quantum computation. Their 2001 Nature paper on generating multiphoton entangled states for interferometry helped usher in a new wave of excitement over quantum metrology. Professor Steinberg has been at the heart of the international community studying novel paradigms of quantum measurement relevant to post-selected systems, along with their applications to precision measurement. His group’s work on quantum information and related topics has been recognized with numerous accolades, including their 2011 Science paper on measuring the trajectories of single photons being listed as Physics World’s top breakthrough of the year. Additionally, their 2014 paper in Physical Review Letters on quantum data compression made Physics World’s top-ten list for the year. More recently, Professor Steinberg has returned to the question of tunneling times, using atoms at some of the coldest temperatures ever achieved (below one-billionth of a degree above absolute zero) to directly measure how much time particles spend within classically “forbidden” regions of space. His first results on this were published in Nature, and were chosen as one of Physics World’s top-five “Quantum Highlights” for 2020. His work has excited great public interest and has been featured in an episode of Morgan Freeman’s “Through The Wormhole” as well as in a documentary about David Bohm.

Quantum Simulations with Atoms, Molecules and Photons

40 years ago, Richard Feynman outlined his vision of a quantum simulator and quantum computer for carrying out complex calculations of physical problems. Today, his dream has become a reality and a highly active field of research across different platforms ranging from ultracold atoms and ions, to superconducting qubits and photons. In my talk, I will outline how ultracold atoms in optical lattices started this vibrant and interdisciplinary research field 20 years ago and now allow probing quantum phases in- and out-ofequilibrium with fundamentally new tools and single particle resolution and control. Novel (hidden) order parameters, entanglement properties, full counting statistics or topological features can now be measured routinely and provide deep new insight into the world of correlated quantum matter. I will introduce the measurement and control techniques in these systems and delineate recent applications regarding quantum simulations of strongly correlated electronic systems.

Learning more about quantum systems via weak interactions and measurements

Information on the state of a quantum system is obtained through measurement. The projection postulate stipulates that a quantum system is irrecoverably collapsed into one of the eigenstates of the observable, resulting in maximum state disturbance. Such a measurement is known as the projection or von Neumann measurements. A more general quantum measurement based on weak interaction between the quantum system and the measuring apparatus is known as weak measurement. In this talk, I will discuss how weak interactions and measurements may be used to learn more about quantum systems than we would with projection measurements.
Unlike projection measurement, weak measurement allows minimum disturbance measurement in which maximal information gain is achieved by minimally disturbing a quantum state [1]. Moreover, weak measurement may be reversed through the process of reversal measurement. Such a weak-reversal measurement pair has an interesting application in quantum information as it can negate the effect of decoherence, even protecting entanglement from highly decoherent noisy channels [2,3]. A sequential application of weak and projection measurements leads to the weak value, which is not bounded by the eigenvalue spectrum of the associated observable. By applying multiple weak interactions sequentially, we can measure the so-called sequential weak value, and the sequential weak value of two incompatible observables is particularly important in quantum information as it can be used to directly quantify a quantum process [4]. Also, by carefully changing the interaction strengths of the sequential weak interactions, it can be shown that the emergence of a geometric phase in quantum systems is due to quantum measurement back-action; the stronger a quantum measurement, the larger the accumulated geometric phase [5]. Finally, I will introduce a novel concept of the metrological weak value. Unlike the standard weak value, the metrological weak value is valid for arbitrary interaction strengths and, therefore, can be used to measure an arbitrary interaction strength, making the metrological weak value an important tool in quantum metrology [6,7].

Atomically Thin Canvas for Quantum Optoelectronics

Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers are atomically thin semiconductors that host tightly bound excitons. Recent advances in materials growth and fabrication have enabled the preparation of high-quality van der Waals heterostructures incorporating these twodimensional materials. In this presentation, I will describe our efforts to use these heterostructures as a "canvas" to realize new quantum optoelectronic devices and quantum simulators. I will discuss how we improve exciton's spectral/spatial uniformity and coherence and realize atomically thin mirrors and active "metasurfaces." I will also describe our recent observation of long-sought electron Wigner crystal phases in these heterostructures without a magnetic field or moiré potential. I will conclude my talk by explaining how we use the system to study the quantum melting of these crystals and discover new intermediate phases that have long predicted theoretically but eluded experimental characterizations. Our studies illustrate that the heterostructures made of atomically thin semiconductors are an attractive solid-state platform for exploring novel excitonic and correlate-electron phenomena.

A superconducting quantum simulator based on a photonic-bandgap metamaterial

Eunjong Kim
Assistant Professor, Department of Physics & Astronomy, Seoul National University

Experimental realizations of engineerable quantum systems provide insights into exotic quantum many-body concepts that are intractable with available classical methods. A key challenge in the development of modern quantum simulators is to maintain the level of connectivity and control during scale-up. While majority of scalable quantum simulation and computation architectures to date feature nearest-neighbor interactions limited by their local nature of coupling, long-range interacting quantum systems—exhibiting fast build-up of quantum correlation and entanglement—provide new approaches for studying quantum manybody phenomena and investigating quantum error-correction schemes in the near term. Utilization of extensible quantum bus such as a photonic waveguide provides a natural direction to investigate such many-body quantum systems where qubits interact non-locally by exchange of photons along the bus. Following this idea, here we demonstrate a 10-qubit superconducting quantum simulator with tunable long-range connectivity and individual addressing, constructed from a scalable metamaterial-based waveguide with photonic bandgaps. We study many-body quench dynamics showing a crossover between integrability and ergodicity, enabled by the various hopping range realized in our system. The widely tunable range of parameters demonstrated in our work enables study of different regimes of quantum chaos and thermalization, and more broadly, provides a novel class of accessible Hamiltonians for analog quantum simulation in superconducting circuits.

Rydberg-atom quantum simulation of magnon bound state dynamics of Heisenberg magnets

The ability to manipulate elementary interactions is a key for realistic quantum simulation of interacting many-body systems. Recent progress in systems of programmable atom arrays makes Rydberg atoms a viable physical platform for quantum simulation, whereby intrinsic van der Waals interactions and dipole-dipole interactions are employed to simulate, e.g., the quantum Ising and XY models of magnetism [1]. Here we demonstrate a new theoretical paradigm for manipulating interactions in Rydberg atom setups, where a controllable spinexchange interaction between the ground state and the Rydberg state is realized. In experiments, we utilized the engineered interaction to construct a widely tunable Heisenberg magnet, where the magnon density interaction can be made two orders of magnitude larger than the magnon hopping strength [2]. Such an extremely anisotropic regime gives rise to fundamentally new phenomena that have never been observed in the literature. As one of the most prominent examples, we experimentally demonstrate the formation of multiple magnon bound states with qualitatively distinct transport properties.

Quantum Information with Both Discrete and Continuous Variables

While discrete variables (DVs) of light such as polarizations and photon numbers are used for quantum information, one may also view the structure of a quantized field in a continuous-variable (CV) phase space. This opens diverse possibilities to encode, process, and measure quantum information. Both DVbased and CV-based approaches have long been employed to investigate nonclassical features of quantum states as well as to implement quantum information technologies. Combining both the approaches would provide powerful tools for those quests. I will discuss attempts to maximize such advantages of the two approaches particularly in view of both characterizations of nonclassical states and practical quantum information technologies, which particularly allows one to perform highly fault-tolerant quantum computing using specific types of qubit encoding.

Cavity optomechanical devices toward quantum sensing

Mechanical oscillators provide a novel platform to harness phonons as a resource for quantum technology. Their unique versatility in bridging a broad spectrum of quantum systems has raised attention to utilizing them as quantum transducers. In this talk, I describe our recent results on developing cavity optomechanical devices and their quantum sensing applications. First, our cavity optomechanical devices with superconducting niobium implement optomechanical interactions at microwave frequency to demonstrate significant enhancement in the operating temperature, magnetic fields, and microwave powers. The devices exhibit a microwave frequency comb emerging from nonlinear interactions between the microwave and mechanical oscillation. These results could lead to mechanical quantum sensors aided with precision comb-based frequency determination. Second, we explore new directions for mechanical quantum sensors with novel material systems. By employing semiconductor or topological insulator nanowires in cavity electromechanical systems, the mechanical oscillators demonstrate new functionalities such as precision microwave bolometers and quantum capacitance sensors. Our works illustrate potential routes to harness the versatility of mechanical quantum oscillators for quantum sensing and transduction in hybrid quantum systems.

Photon-based quantum technologies using quantum frequency translation

Heedeuk Shin
Department of Physics, Pohang University of Science and Technology
heedeukshin@postech.ac.kr

Photon-based quantum technologies utilize photons to manipulate and transmit quantum information, holding immense potential to revolutionize various fields such as communication, cryptography, and computing. Quantum frequency translation is a crucial technique that converts a photon's frequency while retaining its quantum properties, enabling the interfacing of different quantum systems and expanding quantum networks. This technique involves encoding quantum information in the photon's properties like polarization, phase, and path. In the optical domain, quantum frequency translation is typically achieved through nonlinear optical processes, ensuring efficient transfer of quantum information between photons of varying frequencies. Different types of quantum frequency translations exist, and recent advancements, such as Bragg-scattering fourwave mixing, have achieved a high conversion efficiency of about 93%, unlocking potential applications. Overall, these advancements have the potential to enable secure and efficient communication and computation across various fields, including healthcare, finance, and national security.

A versatile quantum playground with semiconductor quantum emitters

Solid-state quantum emitters have attracted much attention as an integrated source of photonic and spin qubits, which are basic elements for a range of quantum applications. Recent advances in the generation, manipulation, and integration of these emitters demonstrate a variety of quantum resources: bright quantum light sources, quantum memories, and spin-photon interfaces. In particular, integrating quantum emitters with photonic cavities or waveguides enables scalable quantum interactions between multiple photons and emitters. Given their high performance and scalability, quantum emitters are taking the next stages towards scalable, integrated quantum systems on photonic integrated circuits or fiber optics. Therefore, all quantum operations are efficiently possible in real-world photonic platforms. In this talk, I present recent races and future challenges in scalable, integrated quantum photonics.

Quantum simulation of nonequilibrium dynamics and measuring nonlocal order in two dimensions.

Understanding and classifying out-of-equilibrium dynamics in a closed quantum many-body system have been outstanding problems in modern physics. In this talk, we will introduce our recent experimental results on the universal coarsening dynamics in spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate. Initially prepared polar condensate is quenched to ferromagnetic phases by microwave dressing. Right after the quench, we observe the emission of spin 1/-1 pairs due to dynamical instability, forming microdomains, which are coarse to form a larger domain as time evolves. We find distinctive scaling behavior depends on the symmetry of the Hamiltonian and associated dynamics of topological defects like domain walls and spin vortices. In the second part of this talk, I will also introduce our new error correction method in quantum gas microscopy. The parity projected imaging system has a close analogy to the Ising model, where we systematically distinguish random holes and correlated particle-hole pairs in the Mott insulator. After removing the uncorrelated errors, we observe a dramatic improvement in the non-local parity correlator. Furthermore, we measure the generalized brane correlator and confirm that it can be an order parameter for Mott insulators in two dimensions.

email: HWL@postech.ac.kr

This talk introduces recent developments in orbitronics, the study of electron angular momentum in solids. Starting from the well-established intrinsic spin Hall effect, we argue that the electron orbital angular momentum is crucial for the intrinsic spin Hall effect in centrosymmetric systems. We then discuss the issue of orbital quenching. We demonstrate that the crystal field's suppression of the electron orbital angular momentum is limited to equilibrium, and the orbital angular momentum can easily develop in many materials when an external electric field is applied. We then discuss recent efforts to probe the orbital dynamics experimentally. Orbital torque measurement and the orbital accumulation measurement will be discussed. The orbital torque measurement is based on the theoretical prediction that an orbital current induces a torque when an orbital current is injected into a ferromagnet. The orbital accumulation measurement is based on the reasoning that an orbital Hall current results in an orbital accumulation in side surfaces. Formal aspects of the orbital dynamics will also be discussed, which imply important differences between the orbital and the spin dynamics.

Engineering Andreev band in graphene Josephson junctions

Andreev bound states (ABS), which form in proximity Josephson junctions, govern the physics of the Josephson devices. Consequently, understanding and manipulating the ABS is essential for optimizing device functionality. In this regard, two topics will be discussed; one is Floquet physics of ABS, and another is ABS of multi-terminal Josephson junction.
First, we will introduce the generation of steady Floquet Andreev (F-A) states in graphene Josephson junctions by continuous microwave application and direct measurement of their spectra by superconducting tunnelling spectroscopy [1]. This can be an example of nonequilibrium quantum state engineering in a device level.
Second, we will discuss the artificial topological band structure of three-terminal graphene Josephson junctions by using superconducting tunneling spectroscopy. We controlled the superconducting phase configurations by applying the flux gates and obtained the ABS energy spectrum as a function of two independent phase differences and energy. Such quasimomentum v.s. energy map of ABS unveils the transition between gapped and gapless states, corresponding to the topological band structure of 2D-Dirac semimetals.

Hidden orders in square-lattice iridates

Over the last decade, square-lattice iridates have received much attention as a close analog of cuprate high-temperature superconductors. Although there is not yet firm evidence for superconductivity, a remarkable range of cuprate phenomenology has been reproduced in electron- and hole-doped iridates including pseudogaps, Fermi arcs, and d-wave gaps [1]. Further, a number of symmetry breaking orders reminiscent of those decorating the cuprate phase diagram have been reported using various experimental probes. In this talk, I will discuss our recent results from Raman spectroscopy and resonant x-ray scattering, which show clear evidence of a quantum spin nematic phase in Sr2IrO4, in which spins are quantum entangled to form a multi-polar order without breaking time-reversal symmetry. I will also briefly talk about the prospect of finding a new high-temperature superconductor in iridates using a novel growth technique that allows us to grow samples with much enhanced quality.

Two-dimensional (2d) magnetism has been central to decades-long research as it offers the cleanest test bed for new ideas and physics. The prime example is the Onsager solution of the Ising model in 1943. Despite the immense interest from the theoretical side, there has been relatively slow progress on the experimental side.
However, the discovery of van der Waals magnets in 2016 has completely transformed the field of 2d magnetism by providing natural 2d magnets that can be experimentally studied using many tools [1-3]. Despite their short lifetime, van der Waals magnets have been extensively used to test interesting ideas.
Intrinsically magnetic and two-dimensional, these new materials offer exciting yet unexplored opportunities in many directions. In this talk, I am going to highlight a few examples of such new studies: a remarkably coherent quantum entangled magnetic exciton in NiPS3 [4], a Floquet state in MnPS3 [6], and a novel metastable state in FePS3 [7].

Identification of exotic carriers in highly entangled Mott insulators

Mott insulators may host highly entangled quantum many-body states, including quantum spin liquids. In this talk. we show that topological phase transitions may be utilized to identify Kitaev quantum spin liquids by tuning electric and magnetic fields [1-5]. We show that specific directions of magnetic fields may give gapless Majorana fermion excitations, constrained by the lattice symmetry. Furthermore, we also consider electric field effects and find that topological phase transitions may be controlled in sharp contrast to the common belief that an insulator is inert under weak electric fields due to charge energy gaps. We predict distinctive experimental signatures to detect Kitaev quantum spin liquids, especially in connection with candidate materials such as α-RuCl3. If time permits, we also discuss the recent results in TbInO3 where exotic charge carriers were identified by tera-hertz optical conductivity [6].

In atomically thin van der Waals (vdW) solids, electronic and atomic motions are tightly confined within two-dimensional lattices, giving rise to diverse electronic and optical excitations. Yet, such emergent properties can be further explored, when one can mold artificial lattices as novel condensed matter. In this talk, we discuss our recent developments of epitaxial molding of vdW heterostructures, achieved by deterministic vdW epitaxy in atomic precisions. In particular, we discuss on artificial tuning of crystal mosaic textures, including “geometric bi-crystals” as well as “vicinal stacked superlattices”. In such textured crystals, we have realized a new set of sublattices within the host lattice, which provided exciting opportunities to investigate new vdW quantum phases.

Fractional Josephson effects in Topological Insulators

Yong-Joo Doh*
Department of Physics and Photon Science, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Gwangju, 61005, Republic of Korea *email: yjdoh@gist.ac.kr

A hybrid Josephson junction (JJ) made of a topological insulator (TI) is expected to host Majorana zero modes (MZMs) and exhibit 4 periodic supercurrent. This fractional Josephson effect has been evidenced by the absence of odd-integer Shapiro steps under microwave irradiation. However, more reliable evidences are desired, as similar missing steps can arise by non-topological Landau-Zener transitions (LZT). In this study, we present our experimental observations on fractional Josephson effects in Bi2Se3 TI nanoribbons in contact with PbIn superconducting electrodes. For the first time, we have observed bimodal switching current distributions (SCDs) in TI JJs, along with the doubling of voltage in the Shapiro steps. This bimodality is attributed to the coexistence of 4-periodic topological supercurrent and a trivial 2 supercurrent, thereby confirming the presence of MZMs and ruling out the possibility of LZT. Our comprehensive measurements of the SCDs and Shapiro steps offer a reliable means to probe topological supercurrents in various JJs, which hold significant promise for advancing the research field of topological quantum technology.

Intense femtosecond-laser pulses drive material phase transitions via kinetic reactions otherwise hidden in equilibrium measurements, which stimulates a strong interest in revealing the reaction dynamics of individual atoms prompted by photo-depleted bonding electrons. However, the field of ultrafast atomic dynamics has been limited by the challenges involved in resolving the accompanying irreversible processes at the relevant space–time resolution. By establishing single-pulse time-resolved experimental technique using an X-ray free-electron laser, we overcome this to directly observe the kinetic processes accompanied during the nonequilibrium phase transitions. In this talk, we will introduce recent experimental observations of exotic melting reaction forbidden in thermodynamic (near) equilibrium condition together with physical interpretation guided by the two-temperature molecular dynamics.

Characterising Material Nanoparticles with X-ray Free Electron Lasers and Synchrotrons: A Perspective

Adrian P. Mancuso
Diamond Light Source, UK

Material nanoparticles are increasingly relevant in modern life with applications ranging from catalysis to sunscreen and more [1]. Facility-scale X-ray light sources are key tools in the characterisation of such particles, across a variety of techniques from imaging to diffraction to spectroscopy and more. In this presentation I will highlight how the morphology of entire populations of material nanoparticles can be observed using a high-repetition rate X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) using an example from an experiment at the European XFEL [2, 3, 4]. If time, I will point out optical excitation capabilities at European XFEL. Additionally, I will note the complimentary information that can be obtained from synchrotron sources, such as the I16 beamline at Diamond Light Source [5], which includes strain information in addition to the morphology of any given nanoparticle. Finally, I’ll motivate the argument that combining information from these differing facilities provides greater information than just the sum of the two parts, and postulate how one may combine this information meaningfully in future.

Th quest for how quantum systems evolve, and eventually, how to induce such quantum systems to behave as desired has been growing during the last two decades in a new paradigm, “Control Age.” Of the 21st century science. The past two decades have witnessed the remarkable advance in the new metrology for ultrafast electron dynamics, which allows one to control material processes at electron level and study dynamics far away from equilibrium, to which the 2023 Nobel prize in Physics was awarded.
In this talk, I share our attosecond-resolved measurement and control of electon photoioinzation in atom and Zener tunneling in solid. I hope that this provides the audience with the new insights and perspective that these tools have provided in aspects of both fundamental science and future technology

Emergent Quantum Phenomena of Noncentrosymmetric Charge-Density Wave in 1TTransition Metal Dichalcogenides

1T-transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) have been an exciting platform for exploring the intertwinement of charge density waves and strong correlation phenomena. While the David star structure has been conventionally considered as the underlying charge order in the literature, recent scanning tunneling probe experiments on several monolayer 1T-TMD materials have motivated a new, alternative structure, namely the {anion-centered} David star structure. In this paper, we show that this novel anion-centered David star structure manifestly breaks inversion symmetry, resulting in flat bands with pronounced Rashba spin-orbit couplings. These distinctive features unlock novel possibilities and functionalities for 1T-TMDs, including the giant spin Hall effect, the emergence of Chern bands, and spin liquid that spontaneously breaks crystalline rotational symmetry. Our findings establish promising avenues for exploring emerging quantum phenomena of monolayer 1T-TMDs with this novel charge order.

Nonperturbative Geometric effects in Laser irradiated 3D Dirac Semimetals

Floquet engineering is a tool to understand and utilize coherent phenomena in quantum materials under laser irradiation [1]. This talk focuses on the Floquet states in 3D Dirac semimetals irradiated by circularly polarized laser fields (CPL). Within the pulse duration, artificial axial gauge fields (also known as chiral gauge fields) are realized [2], while Floquet Weyl points appear in the Floquet spectrum [3]. We will discuss the nonperturbative geometric effects [4,5] in this system and account for the recent ultrafast generation of charge current observed in bismuth. References:

Light-induced topological superconductivity

Topological superconductivity (TSC), which is characterized by the non-trivial topology of the superconducting gap, has attracted great attention in the last decade as a new class of superconductivity [1]. The most striking feature of TSC is the emergence of Majorana edge modes, which are known to be applicable to topological quantum computation [2]. Thus, it is highly desirable to realize TSC not only from the point of view of materials science, but also from the point of view of quantum technology. However, the candidate material for TSC is still limited and its realization is challenging. On the other hand, the development of laser light technology provides a new approach for controlling quantum materials. Indeed, it has been reported that strong laser drive effectively changes the band structure and the topologically non-trivial state is induced by laser light [3,4]. An important advantage of this approach is its time scale. A short laser pulse induces the quantum state change in femtoseconds to picoseconds, allowing ultrafast control of quantum materials beyond current electronics technology.
Stimulated by this situation, we have theoretically studied the approach to realize TSC by laser light in recent years [5-9]. This may lead to the realization of the Majorana-based quantum information processor operating in an ultrafast time scale. We have mainly considered two directions. One is the use of the Floquet state, which is a kind of photo-dressed state and has already been used to control topological phases in quantum materials [3,4]. In this direction, we have shown that cuprate thin films [5,6] or bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides [7] illuminated by circularly polarized laser light are good candidates. Another direction is the use of DC supercurrent induced by low-frequency light such as terahertz laser light. We have shown that DC supercurrent drastically changes the quasiparticle spectrum and induces topological phase transitions in various superconductors [8.9]. In this talk I will present these results. If time permits, I will also discuss a recent experiment realizing the Floquet state in superconductors [10] and the possible connection to our proposals and related future directions.

Profile

I am currently leading a research center focused on quantum materials supported by the Korean National Research Foundation and the Samsung Science and Technology Foundation. My group has made several worldfirst reports in the area of strongly correlated electron systems, in particular magnetism and neutron/x-ray scattering. The latest example is the discovery of van der Waals magnets: in 2016, my group, for the first time, succeeded in realising true two-dimensional magnetism using naturally occurring materials.

RESEARCH INTEREST

Femtosecond X-ray dynamic imaging: dynamic probe for irreversible process
Newly established, with the original effort, time-resolved single-pulse imaging with the XFEL to achieve the highest spatio-temporal resolution imaging of irreversible phenomena at few hundred femtosecond and several nanometer scale. Investigating strongly driven non-equilibrium phase transition phenomena that have been veiled mostly without direct observation.
Research outcomes in Nature Communications (2019) and Science Advances (2021).

Near atomic resolution 3D coherent diffraction imaging
- Established cryogenic coherent X-ray 3D diffraction imaging methodology to actively investigate individual cellular organelles. Nanoscale 3D structures of human chromosomes, in frozen hydrated condition, were obtained using this independently developed cryo-CDI system to reveal that the stochastic 3D compaction of the chromatins in nanoscales.
Research outcomes published in PNAS (2021).

- In parallel, research on single-particle 3D imaging using single XFEL pulses is ongoing. With the XFEL single particle imaging scheme, 3D ensemble imaging to faithfully unveil the types of heterogeneous structures in single particle specimens was successfully demonstrated, for the first time, with detailed quantitative 3D analysis. Single-particle 3D imaging of biological specimens is performed via international Single-Particle Initiative (SPI) consortium activities.
Research outcomes published in ACS Nano (2021), Physical Review Applied (2020).

Resonant x-ray scattering investigation of correlated electron materials
- Investigating fundamental issues on ultrafast structural phase transitions, nonthermal melting phenomena using time-resolved resonant X-ray scattering technique via femtosecond optical laser pumping and the XFEL probing scheme. Direct observation of the orbital dynamics triggering the ultrafast lattice disorder in a covalent bonding system has been obtained.

Adrian P. Mancuso

Adrian’s research interests centre predominantly around the development of techniques and methods exploiting spatially coherent X-rays to observe the structure and dynamics of matter. This includes novel approaches to instrumentation design, experiment design and data analysis using both X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) and synchrotron sources.

Adrian joined Diamond Light Source Limited in November 2022 as Director of Physical Sciences, leading a division of more than 220 scientists, technicians, planners and administrators to deliver impactful science across all of the physical sciences at the UK’s national synchrotron.

Prior to joining Diamond, Adrian designed, constructed and lead the operation team for the SPB/SFX instrument of the European XFEL—EuXFEL’s flagship scientific instrument for coherent X-ray single particle imaging, megahertz microscopy and structural biology. He curated large-scale user collaborations to utilise early beam at EuXFEL. His team’s in house research and development at EuXFEL was tailored to support the SPB/SFX science program, extending beyond structural biology and into materials science, X-ray optics and even broader fields. He has further interests in modelling and simulation for XFEL experiments, allowing the more efficient and effective use of beamtime at such in-demand facilities.

1. Research Interes

I am interested in fundamental aspects of theoretical condensed matter physics with a specific focus on topological states and strongly-correlated materials. I am generally interested in quantum field theory, in particular topological field theory. Another line of my research is much more practical such as designing new topological states in strong spin-orbit coupled materials and understanding emerging superconductivity in low-dimensional materials.
