Justin Song (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)
| Invited Parallel Workshop |

I´m a theoretical condensed matter physicist interested in emergent phenomena in quantum systems, broadly defined. Recently discovered quantum materials (e.g., Weyl and Dirac semimetals, 2D Dirac materials, van der Waals heterostructures, topological insulators) provide a ripe venue for this exploration. In many of these systems, the unique "winding" of the Bloch wavefunctions, electron interactions, intimate coupling between several layers in vertical as well as lateral heterostructures, and indeed the interplay of all three can yield qualitatively new phenomena. In some cases, new physics arising out of these materials has motivated new ideas in manipulating internal degrees of freedom such as energy, charge, valley, and spin.

Department of Applied Physics, University of Tokyo, Japan Research Outline: Coherent electrons obeying quantum mechanics do not accompany energy loss or heating. In this research, I inject electrons one by one into depleted electron channels and perform quantum operations on coherent flying electrons. Based on this concept, I realize scalable quantum operation circuits of high energy-efficiency, which also provides the basis technology for quantum computers that have ultimate ability to solve certain problems.
