"Chair of Excellence in Quantum Science and Technology (Call 2026)"

The Chair of Excellence program is designed to host international leading experts and eminent scholars for a three-year term, and a cumulative commitment of 9–12 months. The chairs aim to strengthen key scientific areas and foster expertise and excellence in emerging areas. Focus areas include, but are not limited to, quantum materials (such as superconducting flat-band and two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials), quantum software and algorithms, and quantum devices (including solid state qubits, quantum circuits, quantum nanomechanics).
