Contents
This proseminar aims at exposing students to modern research topics in the field of experimental nano- and quantum physics, which is one of the cornerstones in research at the Basel physics department. Concrete learning objectives include:
- To expand knowledge of quantum and nanophysics
- To get acquainted with current topics in research in Basel and beyond
- To learn how to read and understand research papers
- To learn how to present scientific results in a concise and comprehensive way
Students are welcome to suggest topics particularly relevant to their interests (subject to approval). Further, a list of suitable topic suggestions is provided. This year the following topics are suggested:
- Entanglement between two micromechanical oscillators
- Topological Josephson Junction
- The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox in a many-body system
- Probing Majorana wavefunctions
- Redefinition of the kilogram assisted by atom interferometry
- Spin relaxation of a single-electron
- Spin qubits in silicon carbide for future quantum networks
- Strong spin-photon coupling in silicon
- Heterogeneous Quantum Networks
- Noise Suppression in Spin Qubits
- Intensity squeezed light for sub-shot-noise microscopy
- Entanglement Distribution in Space
