This award-funded research directly addresses a critical bottleneck in quantum computing by developing computational tools to design novel materials that stabilize fragile quantum states. By focusing on electron-phonon interactions in layered structures, the project aims to create the durable hardware necessary for scalable quantum technologies. The initiative also expands the field through open-source software and educational programs designed to train the next generation of quantum scientists.
WVU Physicist Receives NSF CAREER Award for Quantum Materials Research

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — With support from a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER award, West Virginia University physicist Subhasish Mandal is working to supply future quantum technologies with materials that don’t exist yet. Mandal, an assistant professor in the WVU Eberly College of Arts and Sciences Department of Physics and Astronomy, will develop computer tools for designing the quantum materials […]
West Virginia University physicist Subhasish Mandal received an NSF CAREER award to develop computational tools for designing and identifying materials with properties suited to future quantum technologies. His research will use large-scale simulations to study interactions between electrons and atomic vibrations in layered materials, including properties such as superconductivity and topological quantum states. The project also includes free software for quantum materials research and educational programs designed to train students in computational skills relevant to quantum science and related industries.
