The Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI) is dedicated to the discovery and interpretation of new phenomena in condensed matter, the development of novel materials and functional structures at the nano- and quantum-scale as well as innovation in experimental and theoretical methods. Our research places emphasis on potential long-term applications in information technology and related fields. A special focus lies on quantum materials, quantum computing and neuromorphic computing.

Neuromorphic Computing on the Road to Application

The aim of the NEUROTEC project is to develop hardware and algorithms for highly efficient computers modelled on the human brain, and so to lay the foundations for new value creation in the Rhineland region. The collaborative project coordinated by Forschungszentrum Jülich is now entering its second funding phase, with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) allocating it a total of around €36 million in funding for the next five years.

PGI Colloquium: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Kunze, Ruhr University Bochum, Bochum, Germany

Full-wave rectification is a phenomenon that has been known for many years in micro- and nanoscale three- and four-terminal semiconductor structures. A number of effects were identified as the origin, most of which are based on symmetry breaking of the device structure. After some comments on the fabrication technology, this lecture will address them individually on the basis of experimental results and relate them to critical transport parameters.
