2D Heterostructure Non-volatile Spin Memory Technology

We will employ novel methods to control their SOT properties – by the twist angle between the layers, topological aspects, crystal symmetries, proximity interaction, and strong electric field effects. To achieve this challenging goal, this project brings together pioneering and world-leading experimental and theoretical researchers and a company in the field of spintronics and 2D materials in Europe.

Quantum bits with Kitaev Transmons FET-Challenge project

We plan to engineer topologically protected qubits by creating arrays of quantum dots with superconducting coupling (the so called Kitaev chain) in two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs). Embedding the Kitaev chain in a transmon architecture will allow us to perform single-qubit and two-qubit operations using well-established control-techniques from the field of superconducting qubits.

Twistrain ERC project

Straintronic control of correlations in twisted van der Waals heterostructures

In this project we will use hydrostatic pressure and
mechanical strain to uncover the ground state properties of twisted graphene and transition metal
dichalcogenide heterostructures. Since the interlayer coupling plays the dominant role, changing the
distance of the layers with hydrostatic pressure has a dramatic effect on the band structure and the
correlated phases that emerge. The symmetries of the system can be deterministically broken by strain
patterns applied in-situ.
