High-temperature Quantum Devices

Quantum devices, which rely on quantum mechanical effects for their operation, offer many advantages over conventional devices, such as reduced dimensions, increased speed, and energy efficiency. However, quantum phenomena are typically observed only at cryogenic temperatures, which limits their practical application. 2D materials and their van der Waals heterostructures provide a promising platform for high-temperature quantum devices owing to their strong Coulomb interactions and/or spin-orbit coupling.

We employ interface engineering and nanopatterning to build quantum devices with 2D materials that can operate near room temperature towards practical applications. Some of our targeted devices are as below.

• Quantum magnetometometers and quantum sensors
• Topological/superconducting transistors
• Energy-efficient spintronic devices
