This theoretical physics project studies the functionality of new quantum materials in microwave fields. Recent technological progress has enabled physicists and materials scientists to create two-dimensional layered materials. At low temperatures relevant for quantum technology they form different types of correlated electronic states such as magnets or superconductors, depending on their elemental structure. Combining different types of materials allows creating structures where magnetism and superconductivity live side by side, changing the behaviour of one another. This allows creating new types of functionalities for applications in electronics, but already studying the hybrid materials creates new knowledge about phases of matter. This project focuses on the use of such hybrid quantum materials in high-speed electronics by studying their response to microwave regime electromagnetic signals.
