Quantum information science and engineering (QISE) have experienced rapid advancements over the past decade, offering the potential to revolutionize human society entering the quantum age. The foundation of QISE lies the study of quantum materials – systems that provide reliable ways to manipulate the fragile quantum states for information processing. In this talk, I will present our recent investigations of quantum materials using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), which focus on topological superconductor (TSC) candidates and magnetic materials. Specifically, I will discuss our work on 2M-WS2, a promising TSC candidate relevant to topological quantum computing, and our exploration of magnetism near the quantum limit, which is central to realizing quantum magnetic devices. Our studies employ STM and spin-polarized STM (SPSTM) to probe the electronic and magnetic properties of the quantum materials at the atomic scale. Highlights include the phase change patterning on TSC (2M WS2) toward Majorana zero mode braiding, magnetic domain manipulations in centrosymmetric materials (Fe3GeTe2). In addition, our efforts in understanding Eu-based systems (Eu, Eu-Si, and EuAl4) and Fe doped WTe2 will be added to illustrate ways surface science can contribute to the research in quantum materials.
