A nucleation point of PSI competences towards the quantum technology initiative.
PSI's expertise in the study of quantum matter and engineering of nanoelectronics is directly connected to the availability of world-class large-scale facilities, such as the SINQ neutron and SµS muon source, the SLS synchrotron and the SwissFEL x-ray free-electron laser.
The Quantum Technology Collaboration at PSI (QTC@PSI) serves as a platform to coalesce key competences and know-how (imaging, spectroscopy, sample synthesis, nanofabrication and theory) that will lead to the development of components required to implement quantum technology in everyday life. Critical expertise in nanofabrication, optical amplifiers & microwave technology, metrology, cryogenics & magnet engineering, as well as detector technology exist at PSI today. This combination of scientific excellence in materials science and quantum materials along with the technological know-how and large scale facilities means PSI is uniquely positioned to make significant contributions to the quantum revolution that now is unfolding worldwide.

Une subvention prestigieuse pour combiner spin et quantas
Deux ne font plus qu’un. Au PSI, Giacomo Sala combine deux univers physiques distincts: la spintronique, bien établie, et la géométrie quantique, encore récente. L’ERC finance ce projet extrêmement innovant à hauteur d’environ 2,2 millions de francs suisses. Il pourrait ouvrir la voie à des systèmes de stockage de données plus efficaces.
Multiband condensate of magnons
Two different types of magnons form a novel collective quantum state at room temperature. In the long term, this could establish a path for future microwave technology.
