The yearly meeting is over and we are looking forward to the pillar meeting in Eindhoven. The preliminary date is 19-20 May. Slides Slides from the presentations at the yearly meeting are coming in. Below you can find links to the ones that we have put on the website (just click on the images).
Thanks to everyone who make the QuMat summer school such a wonderful event. We have all learned a lot about the topics of each other and also about each others as persons.
In a new study published in Physical Review B, researchers led by professor Zeila Zanolli and PhD candidate Riccardo Reho from Utrecht University, explored the impact of stacking, twisting, and interlayer distance on the electronic and optical properties of structures made of specific two-dimensional quantum materials. The study revealed that these factors could significantly alter …

Can a computer chip have zero energy loss in 1.58 dimensions? What if we could find a way to make electric currents flow, without energy loss? A promising approach for this involves using materials known as topological insulators. They are known to exist in one (wire), two (sheet) and three (cube) dimensions; all with different …

A big thanks to all participants who joined us for a day of talks and workshops aimed at developing quantum education for the younger generation (0 – 18 years). Lunch and snacks were included, as well as a borrel after a long day of seminars and workshops.
A big thanks to everyone who participated in the QuMat Pillar meeting in Delft. The QuMat 2024 pillar meeting took place 22 – 23 April in Delft at the vakwerkhuis! The meeting was a two-day meeting where QuMat scientists and associated members came together to share scientific results, discuss challenges and opportunities within the consortium, …
During the annual Phsyics@Veldhoven, there were many QuMat researchers present. Unfortunately not all had the opportunity to join in on the image.
Thank to everyone for making the first QuMat yearly meeting such a success. We are now looking forward to the Pillar Meeting in April 22 – 23 2024.
Dr. Peter Kraus (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), Prof. dr. Daniël Vanmaekelbergh (Utrecht University, QuMat), Dr. Gorben Pijlman (Wageningen University) are guests at the Nobel Lectures organized by TNW and Studium Generale to talk about the Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine. Dr. Peter Kraus (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) explains the Nobel Prize for Physics 2023 won …
We are happy to congratulate QuMat researcher Floris Zwanenburg from Twente Unviersty, who has been awarded an NWO Vici grant for the round of 2022. With the funding from this Vici grant, Floris Zwanenburg will be hiring 3 PhD students and a postdoc. Together they will perform research on “Single-atom quantum coherence”. The researchers will manufacture …
