Lieven Vandersypen awarded two international scientific prizes
23 May 2008 by TNWToday | M&CProf. Lieven Vandersypen, who works at the Kavli Institute of NanoScience at TU Delft and is FOM researcher, is to receive two international scientific prizes this year.
He will be awarded the Nicholas Kurti European Science Prize for his work on the coherent control of nuclear and electron spins, with possible application to quantum computing. The experiments with nuclear spins he carried out as a Stanford University Ph.D. student working at the IBM Almaden Research Center in California. In Delft, Vandersypen works on electron spins in "quantum dots" (nanoscale semiconductor traps for electrons). For his Delft contributions to the read-out and control of individual electron spins, he also receives the IUPAP Young Scientist Prize for Semiconductor Physics.
