ERC Synergy Grant for Jonathan Finley: Creating innovative computer chips that integrate photonics and electronics
The project “Bright Chips” is a collaboration with Prof. Erik Bakkers (TU Eindhoven) and Prof. Floris Zwanenburg (Uni Twente). Jonathan Finley has held the Chair of Semiconductor Nanostructures and Quantum Systems at TUM since 2013 and is co-coordinator of MCQST's RU-E: Quantum Metrology and Sensing.
"I am looking forward very much to exploring this new form of SiGe and testing its suitability for building novel quantum devices.” says Prof. Finley. He also mentiones that the grant will allow his group “to focus with significant resources on this exciting new semiconductor materials system.”
Congratulations!
