There has been a recent surge in interest in the scientific community in quantum information technologies, including quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum communication.  At the heart of each of these are the quantum materials which will serve as the platform for their operation, akin to the role of semiconductors in conventional computation.  Despite this pivotal role, there remains a significant gap between the study of modern quantum materials and the requirements, goals, and current status of quantum information science.  This Aspen Winter Conference will bring together scientists working in a variety of “quantum information relevant” quantum material areas to engage with this challenge.  We expect that quantum information may provide a new common thread to tie these subfields together and help shape a vision for the future of the fundamental science of quantum materials.

The conference will combine contributions for theory, experiment, and computation and draw from a broad community united by connections to quantum materials and quantum information. This will include physicists who have made or been guided by the QI-QM connection in various ways- bringing such a community together has the potential to strengthen and unify these connections.   At the same time, given the fast moving nature of this subfield, a subsection of the program will be allocated for recent developments germane to the theme of the conference.
