Unveiled new paths to design nanoscale patterns in Mott insulators

An international team which includes a large group of researchers from CNR-SPIN, together with scientists of MagTop Research Centre in Warsaw, University of Salerno, and University of Antwerp has uncovered new quantum effects that can control the nanoscale pattern formation in Mott crystals. The discovery of the physical laws underlying these properties could be used for the development of room temperature non-volatile electronics based on voltage-controlled nanometric phases and, in perspective, could be integrated with photonic functional devices too.

Italian Quantum Weeks 2023 a Salerno

Quest'anno la mostra delle Italian Quantum Weeks  «Dire l'indicibile» con tema "l'entanglement quantistico" fa tappa anche a Salerno. 

Dando seguito alla mostra organizzata nel mese di aprile, presso il Museo di Fisica di Napoli, dagli istituti CNR SPIN, INO e ISASI e dall’Università Federico II, in queste settimane è stato allestito, negli spazi del Dipartimento di Fisica dell’Università di Salerno, un breve percorso che, attraverso i concetti chiave della meccanica quantistica, conduce il visitatore a conoscere più da vicino alcuni degli aspetti più caratteristici dell'entanglement. Il percorso, inserito anche nel programma di orientamento del Dipartimento, rimarrà per l’intero mese di maggio a disposizione di tutti gli interessati al mondo delle nuove tecnologie quantistiche.

Kick-off meeting of LSMOMEMS project

The kick-off meeting of LSMOMEMS took place in the GREYC lab at ENSICAEN on 15-16 May 2023. This 2-years project of cooperation IEA 2022 between CNRS-GREYC and CNR-SPIN aims developing oxide-based MEMS resonators for infrared detection. The project is coordinated by Dr. Laurence Méchin (CNRS-GREYC, Caen) and Dr. Nicola Manca (CNR-SPIN, Genova).

SPIN Director presenting the Institute research at the GRIM event in Paris

On April 13rd, on the occasion of the annual edition of the “Italian Research Day in the World” (Giornata della Ricerca Italiana nel Mondo - GRIM), SPIN Director Fabio Miletto Granozio presented the activity of the CNR-SPIN Institute at a scientific meeting held at the Italian Embassy in Paris. The meeting was organised by the Embassy itself, and, in particular, the Scientific Attaché Dr. Marco Borra, with the collaboration of ReCIF (Rete dei Ricercatori Italiani in Francia (ReCIF) and ANRT (Association Nationale de la Recherche et de la Technologie).

Italian Quantum Weeks 2023

Con la sua seconda edizione, il progetto Italian Quantum Weeks prosegue nella sua mission organizzativa di eventi divulgativi dedicati al mondo della meccanica quantistica e all’opportunità di sviluppo che esso offre. Il tema scelto per il 2023 è l’entanglement, una proprietà dei sistemi quantistici che, seppur nella sua assoluta specificità rispetto ai sistemi classici, risulta una preziosa risorsa per le nuove Tecnologie Quantistiche quali il computer quantistico, la crittografia, le simulazioni e la metrologia.

Multifunctional quantum properties steer the dynamics of electrons at oxides interface

An international team of researchers which includes the CNR-SPIN, the University of Salerno, the University of Geneva and the University of Delft has uncovered new quantum effects that can control the dynamics of electrons. The discovery of the physical laws underlying these particular properties could be used for the development of new magnetic sensors integrated with optoelectronic devices of interest for sixth generation (6G) wireless networks.

New EU-funded project to advance amplifiers for quantum technologies

Developing the next generation of parametric amplifiers for quantum technologies is the aim of the EU-funded project TruePA (Truly Resilient Quantum Limited Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers) which recently started.

Researchers from theoretical and experimental physics are collaborating in the TruePA project to make key advances in the development of parametric amplifiers. These so-called TWPAs (Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers) are key components for (future) quantum technologies and of crucial importance for fundamental research in the context of the readout of weak electromagnetic signals in the microwave range.

Coexistence and coupling of ferroelectricity and magnetism in an oxide two-dimensional electron gas

As reported in a recent paper published in Nature Physics, a team, composed of researchers from the Unité Mixte de Physique CNRS-THALES, CNR SPIN, the University Federico II of Naples and the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, has discovered a new type of 2D-electron gas, at the interface between two compounds of the perovskite oxide family, that is both ferroelectric and magnetic while being an excellent electrical conductor.
