2. Multispectral near-field studies of boron nitride micro- and nanostructures

Iris Niehues (University of Münster)

Invited Talk

Scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) and nanoscale infrared point spectroscopy (nano-FTIR) are powerful techniques for nanoscale optical mapping of various material properties. Both rely on elastic light scattering from an atomic force microscope tip illuminated by either monochromatic or broadband laser light. This metallic tip acts as an optical antenna,...

84. MBE-grown Germanium Heterostructures as a Platform for Superconducting Quantum Devices

Vera Jo Weibel (Department of Physics, University of Basel)

Semiconductor Physics

Contributed Talk

Hybrid superconductor-semiconductor devices are of interest for various applications in quantum physics – they can host different types of qubits or can be used for compact, low-noise, cryogenic electronics elements such as parametric amplifiers [1]. As semiconductor, we employ strained germanium quantum wells embedded in planar silicon-germanium heterostructures. Germanium was shown to be a...

16. Broadband control of rare-earth spin ensembles for applications in quantum information

Nadezhda Kukharchyk (Walther-Meissner-Institut der BAdW)

Quantum Information & Computing

Contributed Talk

Rare-earth ions exhibit exceptional magnetic and optical properties, making them attractive systems for applications in quantum information science. While significant progress has been achieved in the storage of optical quantum states, the direct storage and coherent manipulation of microwave quantum states remains an important open challenge.
Here, we investigate broadband control of...
