Research Impact
The current research of Dr. Banerjee and his interdisciplinary Quantum Spins Laboratory group at Purdue University focuses on the growth and characterization of new quantum magnets with emergent and exotic quantum properties that could be harnessed to make appropriate quantum spintronic devices. These include thermal, dynamical, electrical, and optical characterization of highly frustrated quantum magnets, magnetic topological insulators and semimetals and superconductors both in the bulk and nanoscale at cryogenic temperatures and high fields, to make them device-ready. The applications are complemented by the development of quantum algorithms to study and understand complex behavior in 2D magnetic systems.
