Mission

Advancing quantum technology in support of the National Quantum Initiative and the Laboratory's mission

Our mission is to advance quantum materials and quantum technology in support of the National Quantum Initiative and LANL’s energy and security missions, including:

  • Research in quantum materials including strongly correlated electronic and topological materials, vortex physics, and thermal physics.
  • Research in quantum correlation phenomena to develop innovative quantum sensors and novel approaches to quantum simulations and information processing.
  • Development of quantum-based communication devices and cryptography techniques for national energy security needs.
  • Ultra-sensitive magnetic field measurements, development of highly sensitive magnetometers, system miniaturization, and novel magnetic resonance methods for fundamental research and applied science.
