Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology IQ^ST

This figure reminds us of past achievements of the PIs of IQ^ST but also conveys our vision. Starting from the top right and proceeding in the clockwise direction the combination of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond with integrated circuits symbolizes the research area Quantum Electrical and Optical Engineering. The interaction of dipolar Rydberg atoms in a thin glass cell with light is one example of a Light-Matter Interface. The challenge of using an array of spins in a diamond surface as a sensor for the magnetic fields in a protein or of cell structures summarizes one topic of Complex Quantum Systems. The research area Tailored Quantum States of Matter is represented by the interface between a ferromagnetic and a superconducting metal oxide where polarized x-ray spectroscopy reveals the unusual reconstruction of the orbital occupation. The picture at the center shows the interference fringes of a Wigner function and represents the Foundations of Quantum Science.
