Periodic Reporting for period 1 - ATYPIQUAL (ATomicallY Precise nanorIbbons QUAntum pLatform)
Reporting period: 2023-10-01 to 2024-09-30
ATYPIQUAL proposes a high-risk bottom-up approach, hard-wiring complex quantum states into APRs, which have unique properties like topological quantum phases and spin polarization. Achieving atomic precision control requires recent advances in bottom-up synthesis. By utilizing atomically precise bottom-up on-surface synthesis, ATYPIQUAL aims to develop advanced APRs with tailored functionalities, relying on a graphene nanoribbon backbone.
By showcasing feasibility examples and developing material processing and device fabrication steps, ATYPIQUAL will pave the way for a new quantum technology platform with atomically tunable multifunctional devices for next-gen electronics, photonics, and spintronics.
We can already note several dissemination activities that acknowledge ATYPIQUAL and EU’s support, including 2 publications & 6 presentations/conference organization.
