DESCRIPTION:An interdisciplinary approach to advance quantum science and te
 chnology\n\n \n\nAbstract: Quantum science and technology hold the promise 
 to deepen our understanding of the universe and deliver groundbreaking tech
 nical innovations. The opportunity also poses a grand challenge to today’s 
 scientists and engineers because initializing\, controlling\, manipulating\
 , and measuring quantum information while maintaining coherence and entangl
 ement can be very difficult. Therefore\, successfully achieving breakthroug
 hs will require an interdisciplinary approach that leverages resources from
  various disciplines to forge new pathways that cannot be defined by a sing
 ular field of study.\n\nIn this colloquium\, I will share my interdisciplin
 ary adventure through quantum material and quantum device landscapes. We wi
 ll start from the study of fundamental characteristics of Dirac and topolog
 ical materials\, discussing first how their remarkable properties manifest 
 in Josephson junctions. We will then focus on how we utilize the material p
 hysics to invent single-photon detectors\, which can operate as optical int
 erconnects for cryogenic computing\, probe the quantum state of the photon\
 , and contribute to the search for dark matter axions. We will further expl
 ore how to utilize the novel properties of two-dimensional van der Waals ma
 terials to miniaturize qubits and develop quantum-noise-limited amplifiers.
  And finally\, we will turn around to apply what we have learned from quant
 um sensing to study electron hydrodynamics and the pairing symmetry of nove
 l superconductivities\, including magic-angle-twisted graphene and topologi
 cal Weyl superconductors. We will end by elucidating how to harness the kin
 etic inductance of these novel superconductors for future flight-missions t
 o explore planetary science and the origins of life.
