Ideas under incubation
- Advanced understanding and application of quantum superposition: Can we realize, in situ, robust control and sensing of structure and function for complex processes in chemistry, materials science, and biology at the atomic length-scale without averaging out the underlying phenomena? What are the approaches and challenges of each?
