At LaBEQ we perform experimental studies on hybrid materials systems for Quantum Technology applications.

 

About

 

At the Laboratory for Band Engineering of Quantum Systems (LaBEQ), our main focus is on customizing band structures at the interfaces between superconducting and various normal materials (such as semiconductors, metals, and ferromagnets). Achieving this involves a thorough understanding of the physical and chemical processes governing these interfaces. We anticipate that the band-engineered hybrid systems we develop will be crucial for advancing hybrid classical-quantum processors and sensors. Our research encompasses a broad array of disciplines, including materials growth and characterization, nanofabrication, microwave engineering, and low-temperature physics.
