The control of the carriers’ spin in solid materials for potential use in secure communications devices or quantum information applications has attracted a great attention in recent years. In this context, spins of well-isolated point defects in...

For more than ten years, the research exploring the electronic and optical properties of atomically flat, two-dimensional (2D) materials, has led to new device concepts based on original physical properties. Far beyond graphene, the library of...

The subject of this proposal is the theoretical study of models of Many Body Localization (MBL), with the specific goal of modeling very recent experiments exhibiting this phenomenon. MBL, one of the hottest problems in quantum physics, addresses...

The METCO project deals with the characterization of nanojunctions made of ultrathin metallic contacts deposited on single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2 or WSe2 (TMDC). These monolayers have interesting properties. They...

The TOPMAGIC project aims to provide a theory and a numerical tool for the prediction of topological insulators from first principles. The phase of an insulator (ordinary or topological) can be determined from the orbital magnetic polarizability...

The project combines expertise from a theoretical/experimental team from CEMES and a theoretical team from LPT to develop a unified theoretical framework for the recently proposed Quantum Hamiltonian Computing (QHC) approach which enables to...
