Theoretical Nanoelectronics

The quantum mechanical nature of matter is the basis of all functioning of electronic devices. We use techniques from many-body physics, from quantum statistical physics, and from the mathematics of topology, to analyze the properties of electrons in a wide range of present-day exploratory devices. Our work can enable the development of new qubits, and new approaches to building a quantum computer.

Error-free quantum computer is coming closer

Quantum computers are expected to be the computers of the future. However, today's systems are still too error-prone for practical use. In two publications in the current issue of the renowned scientific journal Nature, a team around Prof. Markus Müller from Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University has now presented two new solutions, which are intended to protect the results from errors. In collaboration with researchers from Switzerland, Germany and Canada, they were involved in the implementation of a superconducting quantum computer chip that allows one to correct both fundamental types of errors affecting quantum systems.

PGI Colloquium: Prof. Dr. Michael Bauer, Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, Kiel University, Kiel, Germany

Electron-phonon interaction is one of the most fundamental quasiparticle interaction in solids governing for instance transport and thermodynamic properties of materials, but being also responsible for unconventional phenomena such as low-temperature superconductivity and the formation of charge-ordered phases. In my talk I will present and discuss two recent time- and angle resolved photoemission studies of our group in which we addressed, how electron-phonon interactions can affect electron and spin degrees of freedom on ultrafast timescales in two different types of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides.
