Mechanically Controlled Break-JunctionTo investigate devices based on single molecules electrically connected to two electrodes, we micro-fabricate gated gold break-junctions, where the thinnest (20 nm by 30 nm) section of a gold wire (yellow) is controllably broken to form a gap on the order of 1 nm for a single molecule. A side gate (blue) allows shifting the energy levels in the device.

Dye LasersFor hybrid quamtum experiments we use frequency tunable dye lases to create atoms over a wide range of highly excited Rydberg states.
-
Circuit QED DeviceWe investigate the quantum physical properties of electronic circuits. The photograph shows a chip made in our labs at ETH and mounted in a printed circuit board to investigate the interaction of individual photons with individual qubits.
