摘要：
Atomic-layer-by-layer molecular beam epitaxy (ALL-MBE) is a new tech-nique developed in the last few decades to synthesize functional quantummaterials, including high-temperature superconductors (HTS), other com-plex oxides, and two-dimensional materials such as graphene and boro-phene. lt also enables one to synthesize novel metastable materials thatcannot be synthesized by standard methods. Several examples will bepresented of ALL-MBE alchemy -the creation of artificial materials withnovel and unique electronic properties. The ability to engineer the materi-als at a single-atomic monolaver level has also enabled important discov-eries of novel physical phenomena and effects in HTS cuprates and be-yond [1].
This talk is aimed at a broad audience, so the emphasis will be on paintingthe big picture and pointing at the goals we hope to reach eventually.Oneof these is to discover a new material that superconducts at room temper-ature and ambient pressure. Another is to build an HTS-based, desktopsize neuromorphic computer, approaching the human brain's neuroncount (10-100 B) and power consumption (10 W), as the ultimate platformfor Artificial Intelligence of the future.

个人简介：
Ivan Božović received his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from Belgrade University, Yugoslavia, where he was later elected a professor and the Head of the Physics Department. After moving to the USA in 1985, he worked at Stanford University, the Varian Research Center in Palo Alto, California, and Oxxel in Bremen, Germany. Since 2003, he has been the MBE Group Leader at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and since 2014, an Adjunct Professor at Yale University. In November 2024, he joined the Shanghai Advanced Research in Physical Science (SHARPS).
He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences, a Foreign Member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Professor Honoris Causa of the University of Montenegro, a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), and a Fellow of the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE).He has received the APS McGroddy Prize for Materials Physics, the Bernd Matthias Prize for Superconducting Materials, the SPIE Technology Award, the M. Jaric Prize, the BNL Science and Technology Prize, among others. He was elected as a Max Planck Lecturer, a Van der Waals Lecturer, and (twice) a Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Principal Investigator.
Ivan's research interests include the fundamental physics of condensed states of matter, novel electronic phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity, innovative methods of thin film synthesis and characterization, and nanoscale physics. He has published 11 research monographs and over 300 research papers, including more than 30 in Science and Nature journals.
