The Quantum Foundry is a collaborative research center headquartered at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), focused on advancing the field of quantum science and engineering through the development of new materials and devices for use in quantum technologies. The foundational infrastructure of the center's various initiatives is one that enables smart, national-scale materials science and manufacturing. Our group has contributed our data management and cyberinfrastructure expertise towards the development of the Quantum Foundry's Quantum Data Hub (QDH), to manage and amplify the value of the scientific data collected by the Quantum Foundry. The data the QDH collects and curates include experimental and theoretical data, e.g., physical objects, characterization data, and material parameters. The data are collected and served through RESTful APIs, making them available to many processing modules. We make the data more searchable and queryable using advanced cyberinfrastructure tools, and enable data cleaning with the QDH to provide users with easy access to high-quality data. 

We have also leveraged our data management and cyberinfrastructure expertise to contribute towards the development of VariMat, a pilot project within the Quantum Foundry, focused on integrating disparate data sources (e.g., experimental data sources) with cyberinfrastructure components to (a) bridge data gaps in experimental materials research data and (b) accelerate the discovery and deployment of innovative materials, through machine-actionable data and improved adherence to FAIR data principles.
