Picometer scale insight and manipulation of novel materials (PICOMAT)
Date du début: 1 août 2013, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2018,
"The recent years have witnessed an explosive growth in the numbers of new materials with fascinating properties and high application potential. Two-dimensional materials are at the focus of interest, in particular graphene but also two-dimensional niobium diselenide, molybdenum disulfide, hexagonal boron nitride, mono-layer bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide, and a variety of other layered ma ...

Transformation optics: cloaking, perfect imaging and horizons (TRANSFORM OPTICS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018,
Transformation optics grew out of ideas for invisibility cloaking devices and exploits connections between electromagnetism in media and in geometries. Invisibility has turned from fiction into science since 2006, but is far from being practical yet. Advances in the theory of transformation optical are the key for bringing invisibility closer to practicality. Probably the most important practical ...

Volcanic ash: field, laboratory and numerical investigations of processes during its lifecycle (VERTIGO)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
Explosive volcanic eruptions are an unavoidable natural hazard: Volcanic ash, the ejected lethal mixture of crystals, lava, glass and older rocks, is the most far-reaching threat. In April 2010, the ash cloud from Eyjafjall volcano in Iceland, a comparatively small event, paralysed large parts of Europe for up to one week in a manner unique in history. The impact was dramatic: several million pass ...

GRAPHENE-BASED SINGLE-PHOTON NONLINEAR OPTICAL DEVICES (GRASP)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
Finding an approach to actuate nonlinear optical effects at ultra-low powers and on chip-scale devices is one of the outstanding challenges in optics. The ultimate limit is the quantum regime where individual light quanta strongly interact with each other. This limit has so far been technologically impossible, but if achieved would have far-reaching consequences in information technologies. In par ...

Thermodynamics of Mesoscopic Quantum Systems (TherMiQ)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
A quantum technology going beyond microscopic borders will be confronted with aspects of thermodynamics that are yet to be understood. This is important, both from a fundamental perspective and with a view to development of quantum devices. Here we propose a comprehensive research programme -- which we dub TherMiQ -- aimed at developing a general framework that brings together thermodynamics and t ...

Silicon-Chip Based Efficient and Scalable Quantum Processing and Production of Photons (SIBESQ)
Date du début: 1 août 2013, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
The scheme of coherent photon conversion (CPC) promises to break with a single device the two main conceptual roadblocks of scalable photonic quantum information processing: the scalable creation of single photons and the implementation of a deterministic photon-photon interaction. This could bring the vision of efficient and scalable optical quantum computing within reach of current technology. S ...

Simulators and Interfaces with Quantum Systems (SIQS)
Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,
The overarching goal of our project is to develop systems based on direct and deterministic interactions between individual quantum entities, which by involving large-scale entanglement can outperform classical systems in a series of relevant applications.We plan to achieve that by improving technologies from atomic, molecular and optical physics as well as from solid-state physics, and by develop ...

High-dimensional Multipartite Entanglement of Photonic Orbital Angular Momentum (OAMGHZ)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
"Entanglement swapping describes a process by which two particles with no common past can be entangled with one another. Considered a key component of quantum repeater protocols, the method of entanglement swapping is also used for creating multipartite entangled states, such as Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. To date, experimental implementations of entanglement swapping and multipartit ...
