Research Impact
The Quantum Matter & Devices (QMD) Lab exploits quantum physics to manipulate electrons, photons and atoms in quantum materials and artificial quantum systems, with the aim to uncover novel quantum phenomena & new states of matter and to explore innovative applications in quantum information processing or nanotechnology (such as nanoelectronics and nanosensors). Our research topics include both nano/solid state physics (graphene & 2D materials, topological insulators), atomic/molecular physics (Bose-Einstein condensates, polar molecules) and related applications.
