The research areas span
over superconductivity (with
emphasis on high temperature
superconductors), low temperature
physics, quantum electronics
and spintronics, and nanotechnology.
Current research topics are:
intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy
of high temperature superconductors,
THz applications of superconducting
tunnel (Josephson) junctions,
analysis of non-equilibrium
effects in stacked Josephson
junctions, study of hybrid
superconductor/ferromagnet
devices for spintronic applications
and development of ultrasensitive
nanocalorimetry methods.
The research areas span over experimental and theoretical studies on
foundations of quantum physics, quantum information, quantum optics, and
quantum nanophotonics. The current research topics are: tests on the
locality and contextuality, generation and characterization of multipartite
entanglement, light-matter interface, quantum cryptography, quantum
communication and quantum computation.
We study systems composed of many, usually strongly interacting, particles where subtle collective quantum mechanical effects are of crucial importance. Examples are electron liquids in strong magnetic fields and ultra-cold atomic gases that can form Bose-Einstein condensates.
We are also active in some areas of theoretical physics not covered by the
above, especially in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and in general
relativity.
