Wideband Quantum Optics with Josephson Junctions (WiQOJo)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Circuit quantum optics (quantum optics with microwave photons in electronic circuits) has allowed to solve several hard problems in traditional quantum optics and to explore new physics. However, so far only one of two regimes of circuit quantum optics has been explored, the circuit quantum electrodynamics regime, where photons reside in electrical resonators.In this project we want to develop the ...

Engineering electronic quantum coherence and correlations in hybrid nanostructures (HybridNano)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Nanoelectronic devices can provide versatile and relatively simple systems to study complex quantum phenomena under well-controlled, adjustable conditions. Existing technologies enable the fabrication of low-dimensional nanostructures, such as quantum dots (QDs), in which it is possible to add or remove individual electrons, turn on and off interactions, and tune the properties of the confined ele ...

Silicon at the Atomic and Molecular scale (SiAM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

SiAM aims at exploiting in future ICT devices and circuits the atomic nature of dopants used throughout microelectronics. The key idea is to use the very sharp, deep and reproducible potential created by a dopant in a semiconductor host crystal. Despite its small size (on the scale of the Bohr radius), the donor state of a single dopant can be addressed with conventional lithography techniques, an ...

Silicon Platform for Quantum Spintronics (SiSPIN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Quantum spintronics aims at utilizing the quantum nature of individual spins to bring new functionalities into logic circuits, either to make classical information processing more efficient or to implement spin-based quantum algorithms. Two critical aspects for quantum spintronics are a long spin coherence time and a strong, tunable spin-orbit interaction for fast electrical manipulation of spins. ...

Quantum Monte-Carlo in mesoscopic devices (MESOQMC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Understanding electronic correlations remains one of the biggest challenges of theoretical condensed matter physics. Mesoscopic systems, where electronic confinement can be externally controlled, are natural test beds for understanding the effects of correlations, and the lack of proper techniques to take them into account is acute. This project aims at developing new tools for simulating correlat ...

Novel materials and extreme conditions to open new frontiers in heavy fermion physics (NewHeavyFermion)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The objective of this project is to explore novel phenomena of heavy fermion systems. The focus will be on low temperature novel properties such as quantum criticality, unconventional superconductivity and multipole ordering, which will leads to new horizon not only of heavy fermion physics, but also of material science. We will concentrate on: (1) new materials and high quality single crystals, ( ...

Hybrid CMOS/Magnetic components and systems for energy efficient, non-volatile, reprogrammable integrated electronics (HYMAGINE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Spinelectronics merges magnetism and electronics (Nobel Prize 2007). Besides its fundamental interest, it has found applications in hard disk drives (1998) and in non-volatile standalone memories (MRAM, on market since 2006). MRAMs integrate CMOS components with magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ). The PI and his team are convinced that besides MRAMs, this hybrid CMOS/MTJ technology can yield a totall ...

Solar cells based on InGaN nanostructures on silicon (SolarIn)

Start date: Mar 11, 2013, End date: Mar 10, 2015,

The target of this project is the establishment of a technology platform for the fabrication of a new generation of multi-junction photovoltaic cells based on nanostructured InGaN layers synthesized on silicon substrates. Currently, the photovoltaic market is dominated by single-junction crystalline silicon modules because of their low cost and long-term reliability. However, higher conversion eff ...
