This project will provide understanding of organic materials where the physical properties are determined by the interactions between electrons rather than by the behaviour of individual electrons (as in the current generation of electronic devices). Such fundamental understanding would allow us to create radical new technologies that might change lives comparably to the benefits that silicon based technologies have brought us in the last few decades. This project will generate fundamental new understanding of the deep physical principles at play in strongly correlated organic molecular materials (with implications for technologies on the timescale of decades).Read moreRead less

Modelling Superconducting Quantum Devices. The capability to incorporate quantum mechanical systems into electronic circuits leads to devices with fundamentally new properties. These devices are very sensitive to their environment, so can be used as sensitive sensors. In the extreme, with many such devices connected together, it would lead to a full scale quantum computer, which has the capacity to perform tasks that are unfeasible on an ordinary computer. This proposal aims to characterise ....Modelling Superconducting Quantum Devices.
