Dynamics of Quantum matter

We explore non-equilibrium many-body dynamics in quantum systems that experience symmetry-breaking, topological, or jamming transitions. These systems encompass superconductors, charge-density wave, and magnetic materials.

Experimental Soft Matter Physics

The research is conducted within the “Light and Matter” research program. The interaction of light with matter is one of the most important fields of physics and optical processes are indispensable in many branches of modern industry.

Charge configuration memory (CCM) devices

Our primary research objective is to create ultra-energy-efficient and ultrafast memristors by harnessing the switching properties of the metastable metallic state of 1T-TaS2. These memristors are intended for use in cryocomputing environments. Our main focus is on achieving unparalleled performance while ensuring reliability and practicality when integrated into a package or chip.

Specifically, we are directing significant efforts towards incorporating these Cryogenic Compatible Memristors (CCMs) into superconducting flux quantum (SFQ) circuits, alongside nano-cryotron amplifiers. This integration aims to leverage the advantages of both CCMs and SFQ circuits to advance the field of cryocomputing.
