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 and other state-of-the-art physical platforms for quantum technology in a wide range of present-day exploratory devices. Our work can enable the development of new qubits, protocols for quantum error correction and quantum fault-tolerance, and new approaches to building scalable quantum computers.

Avoiding errors: how quantum operations are being improved

In the future, quantum computers are expected to solve tasks that push even the most powerful supercomputers to their limit. But the world of the smallest particles is governed by its own laws. One of these is decoherence, which states that a quantum mechanical system can lose its properties as soon as it interacts with its environment.
