The aim of the Horizon-EIC-2022-Pathfinderopen-01 project “FLATS – Flat Bands for Quantum Metrology” is to develop new standards for quantum metrology and a new generation of quantum sensors. The proposed substrate is graphene twisted into a bilayer Moiré structure, which features a flat band structure. These flat bands give rise to a high density of states, and thus to an amplification of electronic interactions and correlations. These complex new ground states in a single material as versatile as graphene will help to overcome the current limitations of quantum electrical standards and sensors, and of quantum technologies in general.
The project involves several partners: Université Paris Saclay, Laboratoire National d’Essai, Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, Université Catholique de Louvain and Société de Microélectronique et d’Optoélectronique appliquées d’Aachen.
Project Coordinator: Preden Roulleau (IRAMIS/SPEC).
