Information, Fluctuations, and Energy Control in Small Systems (INFERNOS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Strong statistical fluctuations in meso- and nano-scale structures make their thermodynamic properties extremely dependent on the information available about them. The most basic process illustrating the importance of information to statistical systems is the information-to-energy conversion in the famous Maxwell's Demon (MD). Our primary goal is to study both experimentally and theoretically the ...

Suspended Graphene Nanostructures (RODIN)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
The RODIN-project, which seamlessly integrates experimental, industrial and theoretical work, is organized around the concept of suspended single-and few-layer graphene nanostructures and annealed diamond-like carbon films. These structures are ideal for accessing and engineering the intrinsic material properties of graphene. In particular we will focus on engineering and measuring the mechanical ...

EUROPEAN MICROKELVIN COLLABORATION (MICROKELVIN)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
"It is an unfortunate truth that the current electronics is facing a brick wall in a decade or so when Moore's law has finally run its course and no further miniaturization is possible. We need something new. Coherent electron circuitry may provide that entirely new alternative. In nanocircuits the electrons can behave coherently over the circuit dimension and thus follow the rules of wave motion ...

Geometric phases, pumping, and dissipation in quantum devices (GEOMDISS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
The aim of this project is to investigate how dissipation influences the geometric phases and geometric pumping in quantum solid-state devices and to assess the role of geometric manipulations in future ICT applications. Since all realistic solid-state devices suffer from dissipation due to their coupling to uncontrolled environment with many degrees of freedom it is crucial to understand how the ...

Single Cooper Pair Electronics (SCOPE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
The quantum physics of superconducting circuits will be applied in new ways to realize circuits where the single charge quantum plays the dual role of the flux quantum in classical Josephson junction circuits. Building on the recent advances in superconducting quantum bit circuits, we will theoretically model, design, fabricate and measure a specific set of circuits which probe the little-explore ...

Levels of cognitive organization in human eye movements (EyeLevel)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
Visual perception is essential for the interaction with our environment and requires various types of eye movements. Clear and stable vision is limited to the small foveal region (ca. double the size of a thumbnail) and to the time of fixations (when the eyes are relatively stable). During fast saccadic eye movements the fovea is brought from one point to another and our vision is mainly suppresse ...
