AlGaInN materials on semi-polar templates for yellow emission in solid state lighting applications (ALIGHT)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

With up to 20% of electrical energy being consumed by lighting, it is important to use this energy wisely. Replacing the inefficient light generation technologies of today with solid state lighting based on gallium nitride (GaN) light emitting diodes (LEDs) will enable us to reduce this 20% to 10% or even 5%. However, several factors need to be addressed to accelerate the uptake of this emerging ...

The physics of Ion Coulomb Crystals: Thermodynamics, Quantum control, and Quantum Simulators (PICC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

In the quest for the realization of quantum information processors, trapped ions occupy a prominent position. The challenge of realizing large-scale processors and quantum simulators based on ions will, however, require that one deals with more complex structures, which may include mesoscopic ordered ion ensembles, i.e., ion Coulomb crystals. In this regime, it is expected that the effect of noise ...

Correlated Noise Errors in Quantum Information Processing (CORNER)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

Any form of manipulation of quantum information (QI), be it storage or transfer, may be represented as a quantum channel, i.e. a map transforming the input state of the sender into the receiver's output state. Given the extreme sensitivity of QI to noise, it is crucial to study the impact of incoherent effects on QI processing and communication if technological applications are to become a reality ...
