The Nano-Science Center works on stationary units of quantum information,
so-called qubits, in semiconductor nanostructures where single electrons
have a huge impact. Such structures allow for storage of qubits, e.g. the
electron spin (or charge). The studies are carried out on samples of carbon nanotubes or nanowires based on semiconductors like silicon, gallium arsenide or indium arsenide.

Another area of quantum information processing works with photons rather than electrons. A new laboratory is under construction at the Nano Science Center for generation of single photons from various types of nanoscale light emitting diodes from semiconductor quantum dots and carbon nanotubes.

The group is headed by Assoc. Prof. Jesper Nygård, and counts about 10 Post Docs and PhD Students.
