Laboratory of topological quantum phenomena in superconducting systems of the Center for advanced mesoscience and nanotechnology (10)

Name of the project: 

Advanced functional materials for digital and quantum electronics

Goals of project:

The creation of materials and structures with new functional properties can provide breakthrough technology development in the field of promising, energy-efficient micro- and nanodevices for a new microelectronic element base.

Project objective: 

• Research of new materials with topologically protected electronic subsystems exhibiting superconducting, quantum-size, and magnetic properties. These materials are expected to be used to improve the scalability of digital and quantum devices down to the molecular level, provide immunity to electromagnetic noise, and increase the sensitivity of non-invasive quantum sensors;
• Research of new and already known materials with nontrivial superconducting properties. This research is aimed at obtaining a deeper understanding of the nature of superconductivity, which will make it possible to predict and synthesize new superconductors, including those capable of operating at record high temperatures and magnetic fields, as well as to develop new elemental base for computing devices and sensors with unique characteristics;
• Research of low-dimensional magnetic systems based on new materials to create devices that operate with single spins of atoms and electrons, which can be used in digital and quantum computing systems;
• Studying the possibility of using the quantum properties of a number of promising dielectric materials for the development of elements and devices of molecular nanoelectronics that operate with individual ions and molecules, as well as communication devices with terahertz operating frequencies.
