Up to now transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was more focused on producing images or diffraction patterns of objects. Of course, some pioneering techniques like holography or focal series or ptychography have tried to reconstruct the electron waves functions at the exit surface of the observed objects, but their results and applications were quite limited or, […] >>

Graphene is one of the most promising 2D materials, finding application in multiple branches of the modern chemical, electronic, and material industry. Thanks to its unique electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties, it is considered as a material of future for new electronic and biodevices, super-strong materials, and energy storage. Despite rapid progress in the field […] >>

Quantum physics is evolving from a purely academic field towards building actual technologies with potential applications. Among those, the quantum computer is one of the most fascinating possibilities. Operating a quantum computer is however a race against time, as one needs to build up entanglement before decoherence sets in. In this project, we will be […] >>

Quantum materials (QMats) are prime candidates for next-generation energy-efficient technologies, such as topological quantum computing, quantum sensing, and neuromorphic computing. In particular van der Waals 2D materials exhibit a compellingly wide range of exotic and potentially useful properties such as charge density waves, topological insulator edges, etc… More generally, van der Waals epitaxy is a […] >>

Currently, the research on quantum computing attracts great attention in order to favor upscaling of the number of qubits for superior calculation capacity. The mature CMOS technology for transistor circuits offers the opportunity to develop on-chip integration of CMOS qubits with classical electronics at low temperatures thereby improving qubit manipulation and read out with respect […] >>
