The Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Systems Initiative was originally created in 2013. Five years later, we initiated phase two. In 2025, the foundation authorized another 10 years of funding. 

Work by initiative grantees during the first two phases has led to profound discoveries. They have introduced an exciting array of new materials, novel phenomena, and innovative concepts to the community, including pioneering contributions in twistronics, kagome materials, and nickelate superconductors.  

In the next phase of the initiative (2025-2035), we will focus on three core strategies — talent, tools and engineered matter, and ecosystem — to drive progress. We anticipate the development of disruptive tools, methods, and concepts by a collaborative, interdisciplinary community.
