Discovering new phenomena in nanoscale devices | TU Delft Quantum researchers highlighted

Join Yaroslav Blanter, a theoretical physicist in the Quantum Nanoscience department at TU Delft, as he explores the intriguing world of nanoscale materials. In this video, Yaroslav discusses his group's aim to uncover new phenomena that arise when different materials are combined on a small scale. Discover how tiny pieces of solids like metals and semiconductors can lead to fascinating effects, including magnons—tiny magnetic waves that hold potential as building blocks for quantum computers. While experimental colleagues study these waves in the lab, Yaroslav and his team perform theoretical calculations to explain their behaviour. Experience the power of collaborative research between theorists and experimental physicists.
