Grant: Canada First Research Excellence Fund
University of British Columbia
$13,211,795.00
Quantum Materials and Future Technology
FY 2021-22
Summary
UBC aims to propel its Quantum Matter Institute (QMI), which is already recognized for world-class research excellence in quantum materials, to the very forefront of the field internationally. Quantum materials evoke the most profound scientific questions challenging the field of condensed matter physics, and are widely expected to lead technological revolutions, with the potential to spawn entirely new industries in Canada in areas such as advanced manufacturing, microelectronics, medicine, and sustainable energy. With CFREF support, QMI will create shared technical service groups to exploit existing infrastructure with greater agility, and compete with top-tier international peers from a position of parity.
