QPS IR Lab

Quantum Photon ScienceFundamentals and concepts for novel quantum devices

One of the main driving forces for top-down nanofabrication is to design the light-matter interaction in metamaterials and to improve the optical and transport properties of materials by applying quantum effects, but also by controlling external constraints such as spatial dimension and strain. Spectroscopy and scattering techniques are our main tools to investigate the respective "modified" structures, which provide the bases for improving the performance of electronic and opto-electronic devices.

Our scientific agenda derives from the synthesis of our knowledge of "old" materials, such as Si or Ge, correlated electron systems and Van der Waals materials, as well as, new concepts from the quantum information science and technology.

The QPS group employs PSI’s large-scale facilities to study many-body phenomena in quantum matter and to engineer novel nanostructured devices. Our activities nucleate at the infrared (IR) beamline of the Swiss Light Source (SLS) synchrotron and the PSI clean room,  where we set the ground for ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy and scattering experiments in high magnetic fields and low temperatures at the SwissFEL x-ray free-electron laser.

QML Retreat 2022 Weggis

"Quantum Magnet Lunch" Retreat in Weggis

On September 30 & October 1 2022, our so-called "Quantum Magnet Lunch" team - consisting of the larger QPS group, as well as, Gabriel Aeppli and Markus Müller - has organised a two-day retreat to review our ongoing projects. The goal of the event was to fly above the details of our daily routine and to revisit our overall vision.

CH-F Pulsed Magnet Retreat

Swiss-French Pulsed Magnetic Field Retreat

The Cristallina-Q team has welcomed French high-field experts at SwissFEL for an informal 2-day retreat. The ten participants  discussed which technical capabilities of the UZH-PSI pulsed magnet setup should be further developed and which science cases targeted in the upcoming commissioning and pilot experiment phase.

Cat Qubit 2

Scientists develop a new kind of qubit based on the concept of Schrödinger’s cat

Scientists in the Applied Physics department of Yale University – one of the leading authors, Alexander Grimm, has in the meantime relocated to PSI – have developed a new device that combines the Schrödinger’s cat concept of superposition (a physical system existing in two states at once) with the ability to fix some of the trickiest errors in a quantum computation.

Efficient analysis method for multiplet lines in Fourier space

In his first paper as lead author, LMN PhD student Adrian Beckert and co-authors demonstrate an algorithm which takes advantage of peak multiplicity to retrieve line shape information. The results were published in Optics Express and are relevant to a wide range of topics, ranging from neutron-scattering to spectroscopy of rare-earth doped solids.

Scientists get first direct look at how electrons ‘dance’ with vibrating atoms

Scientists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University - one of the leading authors, Simon Gerber, has in the meantime relocated to PSI - have made the first direct measurements, and by far the most precise ones, of how electrons move in sync with atomic vibrations rippling through an quantum material, in the present study an unconventional superconductor, as if they were “dancing" to the same beat.

Le laser suisse à rayons X SwissFEL profite de l’expérience de la recherche en Californie

Communiqués de presse Grands instruments de recherche Technologies d’avenir SwissFEL

Un laser à rayons X à électrons libres permet d'observer certains processus extrêmement rapides. Les premières expériences pilotes au laser suisse à rayons X à électrons libres SwissFEL auront lieu au PSI fin 2017. Deux articles récemment parus dans les revues spécialisées Science et Nature Communications mettent en évidence l'excellence scientifique que de telles installations rendent possible. Les travaux ont été conduits au laser à rayons X à électrons libres LCLS en Californie. Entre-temps, deux des principaux auteurs de ces publications ont intégré le PSI en tant que scientifiques pour contribuer par leur expérience au développement du SwissFEL.
