Werner Siemens Foundation Grant

QuMat Receives a Support of 1.6 Million CHF from the Werner Siemens Foundation

The Werner-Siemens Research Center for Molecular Quantum Systems, at the University of Bern headed by Prof. Shi-Xia Liu, is to receive a support of 1.6 million CHF from the Werner Siemens Foundation to establish an innovative instrumental platform that combines imaging techniques with atomic precision, and spectroscopy as well as transport measurements of the highest accuracy – all under ultra-high vacuum conditions and down to the millikelvin range. This unique apparatus will place the center at the forefront of research into the characterization of superconducting topological molecular qubits, based on the molecular concept developed by the W. Inäbnit Laboratory at the DCBP.

Group of PD Dr. Simon Grabowsky

Award

ACS Nano Impact Award for publication on controllable quantum effects

This year's ACS Nano Impact Award goes to a research team from the universities of Basel and Bern. The researchers are receiving this award for a paper they published in the scientific journal ACS Nano. In the publication, they describe how they can precisely arrange individual molecules on a superconductor and selectively control their quantum properties – which is important for developing quantum technologies.
