Resources
The QMSEC Center integrates resources from its five participating institutions along with Department of Energy user facilities, including the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory, and the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. These cross-institutional collaborations broaden the Center’s research capabilities and foster the sharing of expertise, infrastructure, and knowledge to advance quantum materials, quantum sensing, and QISE education.
Facilities
ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½
The QMSEC center at ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ will expand the research scope of the existing Nanomaterials and Spintronics Lab (PI Cheng) and Atomic and Optical Physics Lab (co-PI Noel) at ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½. Building on our current facilities (click Explore Facilities), we will further enhance our capabilities by acquiring a commercial cryogenic scanning NV magnetometer (SNVM).
Johns Hopkins University
Co-PI McQueen's group at Johns Hopkins University has well-recognized expertise in developing ultrahigh-purity materials for quantum information processing applications and demonstrated the successful growth of some of the most challenging materials. The NSF-funded PARADIM Bulk Crystal Growth Facility, located at Johns Hopkins University, provides unprecedented capabilities for the discovery of new materials.
Colorado State University
A wide range of facilities for magnetics research are available at Colorado State University through co-PI Buchanan’s lab, including two setups for Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy and three high-performance computers equipped with high-speed GPU’s are available for micromagnetic simulations.
University of Pennsylvania
State-of-the-art facilities for quantum materials and quantum sensing are available at U Penn through Bassett’s Quantum Engineering Laboratory and shared facilities, including the Singh Center for Nanotechnology.
Ursinus College
Ursinus provides a climate-controlled laboratory space that currently houses the 256-core supercomputer cluster along with the GPU node for computational research that explores the dynamics of quantum mechanical interactions in strongly interacting systems.
