Quantum Materials and Devices Seminars
Wednesdays 1:30–2:30
Harvard University, Maxwell Dworkin G125
This seminar series is sponsored by the Science & Technology Center for Integrated Quantum Materials (Harvard University, Howard University, and MIT). Our Center builds electronics and photonics from quantum materials: atomic layers (graphene, boron nitride, transition-metal dichalcoginides) for atomic-scale devices, topological insulators for corruption-free data channels, and nitrogen vacancy center diamond for single-atom memory.
