In this section we include videos with information about the project avaialble for a broader audience.
Nano-scale Germanium nanowires on a Silicon platform, nanoPHAB
nanoPHAB, together with the research group of Prof. E. Bakkers at the Eindhoven University of Technology is working on the realization of nano-scale Germanium nanowires on a Silicon platform. The nano-devices will be used by other partners within the project consortium as the core components of ultra-low temperature topological insulator measurements for present and future quantum application.
TOPSQUAD VIDEO AT THE EINDHOVEN University of technology
Erik Bakkers from the Eindhoven University of Technology presents his team contribution to the TOPSQUAD project: growing high quality Ge/Si nanowires as a topological material. Significant steps have been made on the control of the in-plane growth of these nanowires by making use of the Selective Area Growth method.

"What I like about my job is that I encounter new problems every day that challenge me to develop creative approaches to solving them."
Interview and podcast about quantum physics and technology (in dutch)
TOPSQUAD coordinator Floris Zwanenburg has been invited by Dr. Kelder en Co at NPO Radio 1 to talk about quantum technology.
Video on Superconductivity - University of basel
Prof. Christian Schönenberger and Han Zheng from the University of Basel explain in this new video why superconductivity is used in TOPSQUAD to make ‘better’ quantum bits.
CENTRE FOR QUANTUM NANOTECHNOLOGY TWENTE (QUANT)
With the opening of the new QUANT centre co-directed by Prof. Floris Zwanenburg, TOPSQUAD is part of an inspiring environment stimulating exchanges between academic and industrial research. QUANT is actively stimulating the foundation of spinoffs in quantum technology.
