This $350,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at the University of New Hampshire into controlling correlated physics in two-dimensional materials through twist engineering. The goals are to accelerate development of next-generation quantum technologies by achieving unprecedented control over quantum behaviors in these materials and to build a quantum-literate workforce.

Specifically, the award funds research from September 2022 to August 2025 to discover the role of interlayer interactions in layered quantum materials like tantalum disulfide through exploration of twisted heterostructures. Activities include creating the first such heterostructures of strongly correlated materials; elucidating twist-angle structure-property relationships through nanoscale and mesoscale characterization; and discovering impacts of aperiodicity in twisted quantum quasicrystals. Results will inform theoretical modeling and provide design principles for switchable quantum ground states. The funding also supports quantum workforce development events for students.
