Summary
Non-technical description: The traditional approach to new materials discovery and optimization emphasizes perfect crystallinity, minimization of disorder, and the avoidance of complex symmetries, structures, and chemical compositions. High entropy materials, however, embrace a random multi-element solid solution distribution with large configurational entropy to dominate the enthalpy of formation, leading to optimized materials properties. This project aims to develop a new subfield, High Entropy Quantum Materials (HEQMs), to elucidate the potential of configurational entropy for expanding t
