2D semiconductor materials grown on graphene/metal/SiC
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 […] >>

Cryogenic electronics for silicon quantum bits
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 […] >>

Valley physics in Silicon
We are looking for a motivated candidate for a Phd project preceded by a master’s training on valley physics in silicon. The discovery of the ‘field effect’ was awarded the Nobel prize in Physics in 1956 [1] and has allowed the development of information technologies which have revolutionized our lives with computers and smart phones.

Design and modeling of two-dimensionnal arrays of silicon qubits
“Quantum computers” may soon be able to solve problems beyond the reach of conventional computers. Such computers no longer manipulate electrons as particles, but as waves that maintain phase relationships and can interfere. The preparation, coherent manipulation and “reading” of quantum states is extremely challenging. One promising option for making quantum bits (qubits) is to […] >>
