Current QD Projects - Quantum Device Research

We carried out research activities leads to fundamental understanding of the novel quantum physics in low-dimensional materials by combining diverse and complementary theoretical and computational approaches, and to model quantum enhanced devices, including energy sources, detectors, convertors, and absorbers.

We aim at the realization of materials with novel functionalities, like interface optical, thermal properties, superconductivity, magnetism and ferroelectricity, fluorescence, which can be manipulated either by applying external stimuli, as magnetic/electric fields, spin-polarized current, and photon irradiation, or by tuning structural properties.

We define quantum devices under four groups to understand their functionalities during the modelling process.
