Superconducting Nanocircuits | Quantum Dissipative Systems | Quantum communication | Coherent control of quasiparticles in graphene | Further research lines |
Submicron size scale technology in the electronic devices opened the possibility to investigate quantum coherence and electron-electron effects on the transport properties in novel and controlled geometries.
The current research activity of the SMT group concerns the theoretical investigation of various aspects of the physics of mesoscopic systems.
Presently, the main topics of investigation are superconducting nanocircuits and their potential use for quantum computation and quantum communication, dynamical aspects of quantum dissipative systems and coherent control of quasiparticles in graphene.
Further research interests concern the study of many-body effects in nanometer size grains, hybrid structures with superconductors, phase transitions in Josephson junction arrays, low dimensional interacting systems.
