Maria Messing, associate professor in Materials Physics and Deputy Director of the Swedish Strategic Research Area NanoLund, presented her research about smart nanomaterials with designed properties based on nanoparticles. In her talk, Maria demonstrated some of the possibilities with aerosol-based nanotechnology. She showed how spark ablation can be used to produce nanoparticles with fully precis

This seminar series is organized by the three nanoscience hubs located in the Copenhagen-Lund area. The aim is to to increase awareness about our mutual capabilities and to inspire collaborations. Below, please find the talk abstracts and short bio of the speakers on the Photoluminescence topic. Within a radius of just 25 km, the Copenhagen-Lund region features three strong hubs for nanoscience, w

This seminar series is organized by the three nanoscience hubs located in the Copenhagen-Lund area. The aim is to increase awareness about our mutual capabilities and to inspire collaborations. This time, we learned how scattering methods can be used to elucidate changes in nanostructures in food during processing, the possibilities offered for users at the CoSAXS beamline, as well as computationa

We aspire to be a hub for scientists interested in light-matter interactions in nanoscale materials. The research area concerns light-matter interactions in nanoscale materials. The area includes experimental and theoretical research where electromagnetic radiation from microwaves to X-rays is used as a probe, generated or absorbed by the material. A broad range of methods is employed, from basic

From left to right: Drilon, Björn, Peter, Faraj, Morten, and Saulo In the Mesoscopic Physics Group, we are working towards a better understanding of nanoscale systems, where phase coherence meets fluctuations. Our goal thereby is to accelerate and contribute to the development of quantum technologies which make use of intriguing quantum features such as coherence and entanglement. Read more about

In 2022, the annual meeting was held on 11 October. The theme is Materials – building the world. Star Wars-style luminescence of perovskite microwires with a variable bandgap, by Ivan Scheblykin, Aboma Merdasa, and Ernesto Joselevich. Program chairs Maria Messing and Mattias Borg are putting together an exciting program on the topics: Quantum materials Synthesis and Integration Organic and earth-a

Scope The birth and development of quantum physics is one of the main scientific achievements of the 20th century. It has led to a revolution in our understanding of almost all aspects of the world around us and forms the basis of essentially all modern physics and chemistry. Advances in quantum physics have also directly or indirectly been responsible for some of the most important technological

Speaker: Heike Riel Classical computers which represent information as bits have evolved over many years in an unprecedented way and became ubiquitous in our life. Today these classical technologies based on miniaturization are reaching their limits and new computing paradigms are in quest to reduce power consumption and increase the performance of computation. Two new computing paradigms are emer

Speaker: Michelle Simmons The realisation of a large-scale error corrected quantum computer relies on our ability to reproducibly manufacture qubits that are fast, highly coherent, controllable and stable. The promise of achieving this in a highly manufacturable platform such as silicon requires a deep understanding of the materials issues that impact device operation. In this talk I will demonstr

Speaker: Charles Marcus This talk will examine phase control in hybrid semiconductor superconductor materials, including frustration in periodic arrays, phase bias in planar Josephson junctions, and fluxoid quantization in full-shell nanowires. When phase can induce topological superconductivity is discussed and demonstrated.

Speaker: Masahito Ueda Information thermodynamics incorporates quantum measurement into thermodynamics, thereby enabling one to evaluate the cost of measurement and that of information erasure in information processing of thermodynamics [1]. The total cost of measurement and information erasure resolves the paradox of Maxwell’s demon. Information thermodynamics also unifies the modern fluctuation

Speaker: Alexia Auffèves Quantum technologies are currently the object of high expectations from governments and private companies, as they hold the promise to shape safer and faster ways to extract, exchange, and treat information. However, despite its major potential impact for industry and society, the question of their energetic footprint has remained in a blind spot of current deployment stra

Speaker: Alain Aspect Einstein's conclusion that quantum mechanics is not complete was based on a local realist worldview. After Bell's theorem and subsequent experiments, one must renounce local realism. I will argue that non-local quantum images can yield fruitful intuitions.

Speaker: Jörg Wrachtrup Spins in wide band gap semiconductors are a leading contender in various areas of quantum technology. Most notably they have been established as a novel tool for nanoscale sensing, major hardware for long distance quantum entanglement, as well as small scale quantum registers for quantum computing. I will present the use of spins in in those areas [1,2,3]. Specifically, I w

Speaker: Artur Ekert Among those who make a living from the science of secrecy, worry and paranoia are just signs of professionalism. Can we protect our secrets against those who wield superior technological powers? Can we trust those who provide us with tools for protection? Can we even trust ourselves, our own freedom of choice? Recent developments in quantum cryptography show that some of these
