QPM Lab: when a spin chain’s odd number matters
The QPM Lab at CIC nanoGUNE studies atomic-scale quantum phenomena using low-temperature scanning-probe microscopy, and shares its research, papers, projects, and public explainers.
- For
- Nanoscience researchers and prospective lab trainees
- Worth noticing
- The highlighted Nature result says spin-chain coupling depends on whether a chain contains an odd or even number of units.
Field notes
The homepage divides the lab’s work among four areas, from on-surface synthesis and graphene nanoribbons to magnetic impurities, ESR-STM, and single-molecule light emission. Its public-facing section promises explanations of single atoms, graphene, and quantum computers without equations. Project listings include named funding programs and date ranges, while the recruitment section identifies several training levels and the lab’s location in Donostia–San Sebastián.
