An atom, a Cooper pair, a Qubit

FMC Editor Colloquiums INC Superconductivity
images

A supercurrent can flow through a weak link—such as a thin insulating barrier, nanowire or molecule—between two superconductors. This famous effect, for which B. Josephson received the Nobel Prize in 1972, has had a great impact on both fundamental and applied science.

A bit of Quantum in Photosynthesis?

FMC Editor Colloquiums INC Photosynthesis
images

Nature has developed photosynthesis to power life. Quantum coherences have been observed in the energy transfer of photosynthetic complexes, even at room temperature, hinting to a role of deep physics in natural light harvesting. Does nature exploit quantum concepts?

Topological Insulators - a New State of Matter

FMC Editor Colloquiums INC Topological Insulators
images

Topological insulators are a novel class of materials that exhibit a novel state of matter - while the inside (bulk) of the materials are electrical insulating, their surface is metallic. This effect occurs because the band structure of the materials is topologically different (in a mathematical sense) from the outside world.

Majorana braiding in superconductors: How to operate on a Zen Particle

FMC Editor Colloquiums INC Nanomaterials, Majorana
images

Among the many exotic properties of topological superconductors, the prediction that they can host Majoranas stands out both for its fundamental interest and for possible applications in topological quantum computing.

Exploring Flatland with Cold Atomic Gases

FMC Editor Colloquiums INC
images

In his famous novel "Flatland" published in 1884, the English writer Edwin Abbott imagined a social life in a two-dimensional world. With a very original use of geometrical notions, E. Abbott produced a unique satire of his own society.

The Department originated from the Physics Department created by Prof. Nicolás Cabrera in the early 1970s. It currently conducts intense research in numerous fields of Condensed Matter Physics and Biophysics. Energy, transport, nanotechnology, health and environment, information and communication technologies are the key technologies of the twenty-first century. Condensed Matter Physics provides the methods to engineer and develop new ideas in most of these technologies. Using advanced instrumentation, such as state-of-the-art microscopy, spectroscopy, and calculation techniques, we can control and directly observe fascinating phenomena belonging to the challenges of technical development.
