On 16th and 17th of August we went on our Summer group excursion. This time to the pre-alp region of Fribourg in the area of Gruyère, chosen by Raphaelle likely because of the top reputation for cheese (and chocolate ?).
Masterwork on Quantum Transport in Superconductor Hybrids based on Nanowires The current project is strongly motivated by the recent excitement about topological phases and Majorana bound states that can appear in hybrid devices in low dimensions, for example in semiconducting
Two master’s project are available on (a) topological insulators and superconductors by design using 2D van der Waals heterostructures, see Master on Engineered Topological Insulators and (b) quantum transport in nanowire-superconductor hybrid devices, see Quantum-Transport in Nanowire Hybrids
3rd Graphene workshop 21-22 June, 2018 This year we had organized the graphene workshop for the 3rd time, which again was really successful, with interesting talks from all over Europe. See you next year! Some impressions: The program: Thursday
Parafermion project started! The QuantEra project entitled “Topologically protected states in double nanowire superconductor hybrids” started with a kick-off meeting on April 4 in Basel. Coordinator: Szabolcs Csonka (Budapest University of Technology and Economics, HU) Jesper Nygard (University of Copenhagen,
Congratulations to Cezar Harabula who defended his thesis entitled Lumped Impedance Matchers and GHz Noise Investigation of Quantum Dots last week on April 26th
Simon Zihlmann successfully defended his PhD thesis “Spin and charge relaxation in graphene” on Friday 13th of April. We welcomed Prof. Dr. Bart J. van Wees (Univ. Groningen) and Porf. Dr. Christoph Stampfer (Univ. Aachen) as external PhD committee members.
Christian Schönenberger has been granted a second ERC Advanced Grant by the European Comission for the project TopSupra: University News ERC Title: Engineered Topological Superconductivity in van der Waals Heterostructures Project summary of TopSupra Topological matter is a new research focus
One of the key properties of graphene for spintronics is its capability to transport spins over long distances unaltered. However, the need to manipulate the spins for information processing and storage is also of fundamental importance. The two dimensional heterostructure
Congratulations! Gulibusitans wins the ski race at the QSIT general meeting in Arosa last week. This is particularly remarkable, since Gulibusitan only learned skiing in Switzerland. This shows what one can achieve in addition to earning a PhD here in
