Achieving control over the quantum properties of materials is a key research area that would enable the realization of novel quantum technologies. The recent discovery of 2D van der Waals multiferroics enables us to envision a new generation of functional multiferroic devices integrated within other van der Waals materials to achieve magnetoelectrical control over their quantum properties. However, the experimental realization of functional quantum materials based on multiferroics has not yet been achieved due to the lack of theoretical designs and computational models that can guide the experiments. In this project, I will theoretically design functional quantum materials based on multiferroic van der Waals heterostructures. This will enable control of the materials' quantum properties using electric fields, boosting opportunities to create new quantum technologies. The project will be carried out at Aalto University, keeping Finland at the forefront of the second quantum revolution.
