    2023

    • 13/13 Leander Reascos defends successfully his Master Thesis "Quantum Simulation of spin systems on Quantum Computers " at U. Minho, and obtains the maximal grade.  Congratulations !!

Very proud of this one: we study the properties of interacting electrons in triangulene lattices, combining a variety of different techniques. All give consistent results, portraying triangulenes as a platform for spin model engineering. 
    • 29/11 JFR gives talk "Usando ordenadores cuánticos para resolver la ecuación de Schrödinger" in the Universo GEFES, a cycle of talks targeting undergrad Physics students.  Talk available online here.
    • 22/11 New publication (11)" Strong magnetic proximity effect in van der Waals heterostructures driven by direct hybridization" with ex-TQN Claudia Cardoso,  Allan Macdonald  (UT Austin) and Antonio Costa. First paper with Allan since 2004.  About the science: we propose a new type of spin proxmity effect based on spin-dependent hybridization.  We study this for CrI3 /graphene junctions, but it is probably relevant in a much broader context. 
    • 26/10 New publication (10)  "Quantum circuits to measure scalar spin chirality", in Physical Review Research, with  Leander Reascos, Bruno Murta, and Ernesto  F. Galvão. This is the core of the work of the master thesis of Leander at U. Minho.

    • 11-10 New publication (7), "Exchange Interactions and Intermolecular Hybridization in a Spin-1/2 Nanographene Dimer", in Nano Letters.  This is a collaboration with groups in  EMPA (Roman Fasel & Pascal Ruffieux) and U. Zurich (Michal Juricek), as well as David Jacob.  The paper provide a very deep understanding of the exchange interactions of S=1/2 phenaleny dimers on surfaces. 
    • 4/10  JFR and TQN member Nuno Peres  featured in the 2022 "updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators" as the 2% most cited researcher in their field.

This is a collaboration with the experimental groups of Andreas Heinrich at  IBS-QNS(Seoul) and  Chris Lutz at  IBM (Almaden, California), and Alejandro Ferrón at Conycet (Corrientes, Argentina).  On-surface exchange can also drive single-spin resonance with STM. This enables to excite single-spins electrically, without showering the atom with electrons.
