DESCRIPTION:Materials demarcate periods of human civilization. The current
  period can be argued as defined by silicon\, the magic stone that transfo
 rmed the way we live. In this talk\, I will discuss how the concept of qua
 ntum\, and the 1st wave of quantum revolution led to the rise of silicon\,
  integrated circuit\, Silicon Valley and the information age. I will then 
 discuss the opportunities and challenges in materials where silicon class 
 theory fails. The focus will be on modern spectroscopy tools in aiding the
  development of quantum many-body theory\, by testing ideas\, discovering 
 surprises and benchmarking theories\, aiming at a new wave of quantum\, in
  search for the next magic stone.
