Keywords

- Mesoscopic physics, strongly-correlated electron phenomena, quantum transport of electricity and heat.
- Nanoscale devices, semiconductor-based 2D electron gas, few-quantum channel circuits.
- Ultra-low temperatures, ultra-sensitive electrical and noise measurements.

Field of research

The team investigates experimentally a broad spectrum of fundamental physics in electrical quantum circuits, from correlated electronic matter to quantum transport down to the most elementary level of the single conduction channel.

Current lines of research

- Heat quantum transport
- Many-body quantum physics

Technical achievements

- Lowest electron temperature in small quantum circuits (6 mK).
- Highest current noise resolution reported in mesoscopic physics (5 10^-32 A²/Hz).
