International Physics Olympiad 2025 in LPS
The Solid State Physics Laboratory (LPS) (Paris-Saclay University and CNRS) was pleased to welcome participants of the 2025 International Physics Olympiad, held this year in Paris. #IPhO2025 Delegations from Cuba, …
A New Lab Work on Superconducting Qubits for students at Paris Saclay University
We are delighted to welcome Masters level students (ArTeQ) to discover superconducting quantum qubits in a brand new hands-on assignment. This lab, supported by Quantum Saclay (QuanTEdu-France program), was developed …
Hund’s coupling mediated multi-channel quantum phase transition of a single magnetic impurity in Fe(Se,Te)
Sub-gap states generated by single spins in a superconductor can be used as building blocks for quantum devices. Physicists at the Laboratoire physique des solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have uncovered that …
Efficient conversion of microwave photons into electrons in a high-impedance quantum circuit
Physicists from the Solid State Physics Laboratory (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have demonstrated that it is possible to efficiently convert a flow of microwave photons into a flow of electrons. This efficient …
Topologically trivial gap-filling in superconducting Fe(Se,Te) by one dimensional defects
Physicists at the Laboratoire physique des solides (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay) have uncovered that the sub-gap states observed in one-dimensional defects in superconducting Fe(Se,Te) are caused by sub-surface debris, contrary to previous …
