This project aims at improving LED technology through the utilization of advanced atomically thin materials. It seeks to create a scalable method for fabricating high-performance, energy-efficient, and flexible LEDs, addressing challenges in scalability and reproducibility. By combining CVD-grown transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with spatial atomic layer deposition (SALD)-grown semiconducting oxides, the project promises to advance research […]

La cybersécurité est devenue une préoccupation majeure pour les entreprises et les organisations en raison de la croissance exponentielle des menaces en sécurité informatique. Internet est un élément critique qui est devenu un réseau universel de communication. Les attaques réseau, y compris les attaques par déni de service distribué (DDoS), sont considérées comme l’une des […]

This collaborative initiative between the Terahertz Physics Lab at IISER Bhopal (India) and the Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS) Lab (Canada) combines the expertise of the individual groups in the fields of Material Science, Condensed Matter Systems, and intense Terahertz (THz) radiation to drive novel research. The project utilizes intense terahertz pulses to explore new […]

Quantum information metrics including fidelity, quantum divergences, and the trace norm provide the mathematical foundation for studying and understanding quantum states and processes. As such, quantum information metrics play a crucial role in quantum computing, simulation of quantum systems, and quantum machine learning (including quantum clustering, generative models, and machine learning of, and by, quantum […]

Modern technology relies heavily on semiconductor materials, from smartphones to solar panels. Among semiconductor materials, one-dimensional (1D) materials, such as nanowires and nanoribbons, offer exceptional electronic and optical properties. To realize the full potential of these 1D materials, it is imperative to control their synthesis and manipulate their structures precisely. In this project, we aim […]

Reduced Density Matrix Functional Theory (RDMFT) has emerged as a powerful tool for the characterization and prediction of electronic properties in quantum systems. This research project seeks to elevate the capabilities of RDMFT, particularly in the context of spin systems. In particular, we will develop Quantum Optimal Transport techniques for extracting electronic spin information and […]

Transition metal dichalcogenides, such as molybdenum disulfide, can be thinned down from bulk crystals into few or single atomic layers that exhibit unique optoelectronic properties due to quantum confinement. The proposed work aims to exfoliate these materials into single to few layers using a new electrochemical exfoliation technique and to study their optoelectronic properties when […]

Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that can be charged and discharged much faster than batteries while also being more reliable and exhibiting nearly indefinite cycle-life. Graphene-based materials which are a single layer of carbon atoms, exhibit the highest surface area of any material and have the potential to form the ideal supercapacitor electrodes, if we […]

Graphene and related materials remain the most promising electrode materials and additives for use in energy storage devices such as batteries and supercapacitors due to the potentially high surface area, high aspect ratio and electrical conductivity. Unfortunately, it remains challenging to achieve single layers of graphene using scalable methods of production. The proposed work aims […]

A la fin des années 50, 45 ans après la découverte de la supraconductivité par Kamerlingh Onnes, la théorie BCS donne une description microscopique de la supraconductivité. Elle prédit que la température de la transition supraconductrice maximale se trouve autour de 20K. Mais la découverte des cuprates supraconducteurs en 1985, dont la transition supraconductrice atteint […]

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 […]
