Our activities are centered around superconducting Josephson junctions, carbon nanotubes, and quantum limited measurements:

  • Mesoscopic Josephson junctions:
    • Superconductor-Insulator transition
    • Energy level spectroscopy of delocalised states
    • Zener-tunneling and quasiparticle dissipation
  • Carbon nanotubes:
    • Single electron devices based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes
    • Zero bias anomalie
    • Shot noise
  • Quantum limited measurements
    • rf-SETs and their applications to quantum measurement problems
    • Bloch oscillating transistor
