Research summary
Quantum materials have unique electronic, magnetic and topological properties governed by complex electron interactions that occur on ultrafast time scales—often within femtoseconds (a millionth of a billionth of a second). To unlock the potential of quantum-based technologies, Dr. Fabio Boschini, Canada Research Chair in Quantum Materials Dynamics, is studying these properties using advanced, ultrafast techniques, particularly time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES).
He and his research team are focusing on three key objectives: using light to trigger new phases of matter in materials like graphene; revealing the role of dynamic electron interactions in unconventional superconductors; and developing innovative techniques to yield deeper insights into electron interactions. This work will advance fundamental science, support the training of future experts in quantum materials, and promote economic growth and leadership for Canada in the emerging quantum revolution.
