Since the mid-nineteenth century, technology has advanced at an exponential rate due to the large demand for computing power and performance. We are presently at a critical point where the switch from classical to quantum computing is required, however, the technology is still in its infancy. Unlike classical computers, which control information flow through bits […]

Modern society heavily relies upon synthetic polymers, mainly based on carbon-based backbones and thus linked to a fossil-based industry. Polymers with non-carbon elements in there main chain are rather uncommon. Only polysiloxanes, known as silicones and polyphosphazenes have industrial and societal relevance. This project aims to investigate whether novel one-dimensional P,N-based polymers can be accessed […]

A modular quantum computer is a system that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to store and process information. Although quantum computers have the potential to offer significantly greater computational power than classical computers, their development is complicated by a lack of scalabil-ity. To address this issue, small quantum processors or modules are employed, which […]

Quantum chemistry techniques can only be used in small-scale systems and the structure of biomolecules like proteins cannot be effectively examined by them. So, it is essential to develop a workable solution that could be applied to larger systems. Finding such a solution will then enable us to investigate the structure of larger molecules like […]

Our proposed research project aims to develop flexible, wearable sensors for monitoring heart health using advanced materials such as graphene and flexible printed electrodes. These sensors will be integrated into a comfortable and non-invasive wearable device that can continuously monitor and track the wearer’s heart health through ECG readings. The device will be designed to […]

Picard-Lefchetz theory is a powerful tool for evaluating highly oscillatory integrals that are difficult or impossible to solve using other integration methods. This theory has numerous applications to lensing, quantum mechanics, and high energy physics. In this project, I will investigate using Picad-Lefchetz theory to solve simple lensing problems with the goal of applying these […]

Au cours des trois dernières années, il y a eu un regain d’intérêt pour l’effet Hall thermique dans des matériaux quantiques. Tout d’abord, la possibilité qu’il puisse être utilisé pour détecter des excitations exotiques dans des matériaux liquide de spin, tels que les célèbres (et insaisissables) fermions de Majorana – qui auraient été mis en […]

This internship is to investigate the properties of charge carriers confined into nano-scale structures commonly known as quantum dots. The internship will focus on exploring a novel family of group IV semiconductors exhibiting a direct bandgap. The core paradigm here is to harness the favorable properties of hole spin in group IV quantum dots along […]

The increasing demand for low-carbon energy has begun to amplify the development and usage of nuclear power. However, the generated nuclear waste is radiotoxic mainly due to the presence of heavy nuclei, such as actinides along with other fission products. This rises the need for selective remediation and storage of all radioactive actinides using non-toxic […]

Development of a high speed quantum material synthesis microfurnace network

Il existe un défi omniprésent dans la mise en œuvre de nouvelles technologies de communication privées : la nécessité de faire confiance à l’appareil. Comment s’assurer qu’un appareil (soi-disant sécurisé) met en œuvre son protocole cryptographique comme prévu ? La communication quantique vise à résoudre ces problèmes en fournissant une communication sécurisée garantie par les […]

Encoding information in quantum states is the new era of communication known as quantum communication. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the building block of quantum communication making a distribution of a secret key between two parties. The quantum states can be two-dimensions (qubit) or d-dimensions (qudit) quantum states defined in different degrees of freedom (e.g., […]
