SQEL | Superconducting Quantum Electronics Lab
The SQEL group is focused on the experimental and theoretical study of the properties of mesoscopic superconducting devices at low temperatures
A new recognition of the SQEL cutting-edge research has been given by Raith Nanofabrication to our researcher Nadia Ligato who won the third prize of the RAITH Micrograph Award 2019!
The micrograph winning the award pictures a superconducting quantum interference proximity transistor (SQUIPT), a multi-tunnel junctions device fabricated using electron beam lithography technique and shadow-angle evaporation.
Many compliments to Nadia and stay tuned to not miss new updates about her work!
A new research carried out at the SQEL report the realization of a titanium-based monolithic superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) which can be tuned by applying a gate bias to its two Josephson junctions.
The research, published on Nano Letters by F. Paolucci and co-authors, points out the strong implications of the apparent coupling of a static electric field to the macroscopic phase of the superconducting condensate.
Beyond that, this class of quantum interferometers could represent a breakthrough for several applications such as digital electronics, quantum computing, sensitive magnetometry, and single-photon detection.
