Probing Individual Atomic-Scale Spins via Magnetic Exchange Force Microscopy
Lovis Hardeweg - Hector RCD Awardee Philip Willke
During the overall pursuit of stable and application-ready quantum computing, this project does basic research on the fundamental building blocks of quantum computers, the qbits. We are using Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) to investigate individual atoms and molecules on surfaces in their potential role as spin qbits. Specifically, this project investigates how the coherence, an important quality metric for qbits, is affected by the environment.
