Funded Activity Summary

Quantum states of matter: from spin liquids to superconductors. Condensed matter physics has produced the technologies and materials that fuelled the digital and communications revolution. The scientific importance of condensed matter physics is indicated by the fact that ten Nobel prizes have been awarded for work in this field since 1990. This proposal brings together world leading chemists, experimental physicists and theoretical physicists from Australia, USA and UK to work on highly interdisciplinary projects designed to discover how quantum mechanics leads to the novel properties of chemically complex materials. Such materials will be of central importance to the technologies of the future such as computer memories and the superconducting magnets in hospital MRI machines.
