Quantum mechanics is largely thought of as governing the microscopic world without any significant effect on the macroscopic world. However, recent physics breakthroughs have revealed that quantum effects influence the way macroscopic materials such as metals, insulators or magnets, behave. In her talk, Chen will cover some of the amazing phenomena that are only possible in quantum matters and that may hold unprecedented power for quantum computers and even our fundamental understanding of the universe.
