Coherent heat and energy transport in quantum systems (COHEAT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

"We are nowadays capable of controlling and manipulating quantum systems as never before. Quantum technology is close to bringing IT devices to mass scale production. The improvement in the accuracy of fabrication and control of quantum systems starts to pay some results also in different fields of research and application, such as biology.Despite the successes already achieved, it is surprising t ...

Curved nanomembranes for Topological Quantum Computation (CNTQC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2017,

Topological quantum computation, based on the encoding of quantum information in non-local degrees of freedom, provides a promising route for a working quantum computer not affected by quantum decoherence. A possible way of realizing this non-locality is to encode qubits into so-called Majorana fermions - quantum particles that are their own antiparticles. As an elementary particle, Majorana fermi ...

Exploring the potential of Iron-based Superconductors (SUPER-IRON)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

In 2008 the group of Prof. Hosono discovered the superconductivity in a new compound containing FeAs planes, thus opening the age of Fe-based superconductors (FeSC). Several different phases were rapidly discovered and today the FeSCs show the second high Tc behind the HTSC and very high critical fields. These characteristics suggested that FeSCs can be candidates for power application.However, ...

Establishing the basic science and technology for Iron-based superconducting electronics applications (IRON-SEA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Recent investigations on iron-based superconductors have revealed a lot of similarities to MgB2 and the cuprates, for instance, a multiband nature, high upper critical fields and a short coherence length. Now immediate interest of a new class of materials would be exploring potential electronics applications such as Josephson devices and SQUIDs. In this project, we will address the feasibility of ...

Nanochemistry and self-assembly routes to metamaterials for visible light (METACHEM)

Start date: Sep 15, 2009, End date: Sep 14, 2013,

The objective of the METACHEM collaborative project is to use the extreme versatility of nano-chemistry to design and manufacture bulk meta-materials exhibiting non-conventional electromagnetic properties in the range of visible light. This spectral domain requires nano-scale patterns, typically around 50 nm in size or less. Our strategy consists in designing and synthesizing ad-hoc nano particles ...

Breaking Inversion Symmetry in Magnets: Understand via THeory (BISMUTH)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

Multiferroics (i.e. materials where ferroelectricity and magnetism coexist) are presently drawing enormous interests, due to their technologically-relevant multifunctional character and to the astoundingly rich playground for fundamental condensed-matter physics they constitute. Here, we put forward several concepts on how to break inversion symmetry and achieve sizable ferroelectricity in colline ...
