With the emergence of innovative quantum technologies and the consequent ability to create, control and manipulate quantum systems, we can now create quantum objects that are extremely well defined, well characterized and well controlled. The Materials and Processes for Quantum Information Science Focus Topic will cover topics which interface micro-fabrication, surface science, materials science with quantum information science. These include quantum systems made from superconducting circuits, semiconductors, defects. Topics will cover superconducting qubits, color centers, ion traps, quantum metrology as well as supporting technology of single photon amplifiers, multiplexers and advances in cryogenic systems, vacuum technology, microwave to optical conversion schemes etc. Challenges in achieving high coherence devices and making precision measurements using quantum systems will be addressed. Apart from the oral sessions, we will have a poster session, which will provide an opportunity for researchers to interact with their peers in the field.
