[3D01【依頼講演】] Quantum effects at electrified solid-liquid interfaces

*Ken Sakaushi¹ (1. NIMS (Japan))

The talk will put an emphasis on the observation of quantum supremacy (QS) at these electrified solid-liquid systems. QS is originally a term in quantum computing, and this concept was expanded to define electrocatalyst that leverages specific properties described by quantum mechanics to facilitate electrode processes. Of course every classical (i.e. nonquantum) electrocatalyst can be described by quantum mechanics since it is the universal principle. However, a classical electrocatalyst does not take advantage of specific properties and states, which are afforded by quantum mechanics, to facilitate its reactions. The talk will demonstrate that observations of QS at electrified solid-liquid interfaces can be investigated using a combination of advanced electrochemical experiments and modern theoretical approaches.
