DESCRIPTION:Materials demarcate periods of human civilization.
  The current period can be argued as defined by si
 licon\, the magic stone that transformed the way w
 e live. In this talk\, I will discuss how the conc
 ept of quantum\, and the 1st wave of quantum revol
 ution led to the rise of silicon\, integrated circ
 uit\, Silicon Valley and the information age. I wi
 ll then discuss the opportunities and challenges i
 n materials where silicon class theory fails. The 
 focus will be on modern spectroscopy tools in aidi
 ng the development of quantum many-body theory\, b
 y testing ideas\, discovering surprises and benchm
 arking theories\, aiming at a new wave of quantum\
 , in search for the next magic stone.
