Quantum Materials Manufacturing

The quantum age is just around the corner. As quantum systems become more stable, robust, and mainstream, tackling the challenge of high-throughput manufacturing will require further developments in materials synthesis, characterization, assembly, and diagnostics. As the building blocks of future technologies scale down to atomic and molecular scales, a paradigm shift in manufacturing will begin to take shape. Inspired by a quantum manufacturing world that elevates the Materials Genome Initiative to the next level, a "human-in-the-loop" framework for high-throughput manufacturing, which addresses key opportunities and challenges to be overcome, is outlined.
