A bottom-up approach to hardwirecraft quantum states into atomically precise carbon nanostructures
SCROLL DOWN
ATYPIQUAL aims to create a room temperature quantum technology platform using Atomically Precise graphene nanoRibbons (APRs) and demonstrate its feasibility through technologically relevant devices.
ATYPIQUAL proposes a high-risk bottom-up approach, "hard-wiring" complex quantum states into APRs, which have unique properties like topological quantum phases and spin polarization. Achieving atomic precision control requires recent advances in bottom-up synthesis. By utilizing atomically precise bottom-up on-surface synthesis, ATYPIQUAL aims to develop advanced APRs with tailored functionalities, relying on a graphene nanoribbon backbone.
By showcasing feasibility examples and developing material processing and device fabrication steps, ATYPIQUAL will pave the way for a new quantum technology platform with atomically tunable multifunctional devices for next-gen electronics, photonics, and spintronics.
The CNRS is a governmental fundamental research organization (the largest) under the administrative authority of France’s ministry of research. CNRS carries out research in all scientific fields to improve knowledge, ensure economic and technological development and solve complex societal needs. CNRS is organized in more than 1000 laboratories, either on their own or in partnership with universities, other research organizations or industry. CNRS has more than 300 cooperation programs with 40 countries. CNRS annual budget (several billion) comes mainly from French government and own resources representing 1/4 of France public spending on civilian research. The CNRS is strong of 18 Nobel laureates and 11 Fields Medals. The present project will be managed by the Ile de France Sud Regional Office of CNRS (DR4) which is located on Paris Saclay Campus.
THALES is a world leader group for electronics and a key player in numerous markets such as aerospace, space, ground transportation, digital identity and security, physical and cyber security and defense. Research and development (R&D) is at the core of the new Group, with its 3,000 researchers and 28,000 engineers dedicated to R&D. Thales has been developing state-of-the-art technologies to meet the most demanding requirements of customers around the world for decades. Today the Group has become a giant laboratory inventing the world of tomorrow, with a portfolio of 20,500 patents, of which more than 400 new ones were registered in 2018. THALES participates to the k-NET project with Thales Research & Technology France (TRT-fr), the main multidisciplinary research unit of THALES, located on the Campus of Polytechnique in Palaiseau.
Université Paris-Saclay is a French university created on November 6, 2019 as an experimental public scientific, cultural and professional establishment.
It is the successor to the Université Paris-Sud, and includes the École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay, CentraleSupélec, the Institut d'Optique and AgroParisTech as component institutions; and the Institut des hautes études scientifiques (IHES) as a research organization1. The Universities of Versailles-Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and Évry-Val-d'Essonne are also associate members of the establishment, and are expected to become "integrated universities" by 2025.
The Orsay Faculty of Science is a university component of Université Paris-Saclay. In the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Shanghai rankings, it has enabled the Université Paris-Saclay to rank 1st worldwide in mathematics and 9th worldwide (1st in Europe) in physics.
The University of Warwick is a British campus university located on the outskirts of Coventry and is regarded as one of the country's leading institutions. The University of Warwick was established in 1965 and has more than 28,000 students enrolled from 147 countries. Despite its relatively young age, Warwick is ranked 7th overall among UK research universities in the Research Excellence Framework 2021.
The Delft University of Technology (TU Delft or TUD) is the oldest and largest Dutch public technical university, located in Delft, Netherlands. As of 2022 it is ranked by QS World University Rankings among the top 10 engineering and technology universities in the world. In 2023 it was ranked 2nd in the world in civil engineering, 3rd in the world in mechanical and aerospace engineering, and 3rd in the world in architecture.
With eight faculties and numerous research institutes, it has more than 27,000 students (undergraduate and postgraduate) and 6,600 employees (teaching, research, support and management staff).
On its campus, TU Delft has a wide range of research facilities. These facilities are unique in the Netherlands and are used to conduct research for business and industry. They range from wind tunnels, a chip facility, high-voltage laboratory and nuclear reactor to serious gaming and product evaluation.
TU Dresden is a public research university in Dresden, Germany. It is the largest institute of higher education in the city of Dresden, the largest university in Saxony and one of the 10 largest universities in Germany with 32,389 students as of 2018.
As an interdisciplinary research institute of the ETH Domain, Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, conducts cutting-edge materials and technology research. Our research and development activities focus on meeting the requirements of industry and the needs of society, and thus link applications-oriented research to the practical implementation of new ideas in the areas of nanostructured, “smart” materials and surfaces, energy, sustainable building and environmental technologies as well as medical technology and solutions for personalized medicine.
We are thus capable of providing our partners with customized solutions that not only enhance their innovative edge and competitiveness for global markets, but also help to improve the quality of life for the public at large. Through an efficient technology transfer Empa is turning research results into marketable innovations – true to our mission statement: Empa – The Place where Innovation Starts
