Crete Center for Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology

The Crete Center for Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology (“the Center” for short) is a research structure that is composed currently of twenty faculty members of the Department of Physics of the University of Crete. The research personnel is originating mostly from the Condensed Matter Physics area but it also contains several researchers from the Applied Physics, High Energy Physics and Atomic Physics whose interests overlap with those of the Center.

The Center consists of researchers of the Physics Department, each having an intense research activity in their own area of expertise and are linked together in order to advance interdisciplinary topics in contemporary condensed matter physics. Several members of the Center have long mutual collaboration history together, while others, with related as well as distant interests, are currently collaborating or will collaborate in order to advance research capabilities in the physics of complex materials, strongly correlated systems, nonlinearity, nanotechnology, conventional, quantum and superconducting metamaterials, topological insulators, graphene, biological physics, as well as applications.

Under the Center the three groups of researchers (Condensed matter, Quantum Field Theory and Applied Physics) aim at

1. advancing their individual as well as collective research through means provided by the funding,
2. perform collaborative work in specific areas to be outlined in the following,
3. advance the level of education through research for local as well as foreign researchers,
4. transform the Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology unit into a world class, competitive Center focusing on Complex Physics and Materials applications.

The Center will upgrade significantly its already good experimental low temperature and micro-nanoelectronics facilities while, additionally, it will establish a state of the art computational facility where competitive computational research work may be performed. The large number of young experienced researchers to be hired will facilitate as well as advance collaborative research work in the focus areas.
The linkage of Centre with major European research institutions will advance significantly local know how and expertise.

VASSILIS BINAS ONE OF THE 20 YOUNG RESEARCHERS OF THE WORLD IN THE "FORUM FOR NEXT GENERATION RESEARCHERS"

Dr Vassilis Binas was selected as one of the 20 young researchers of the World and participated in the Forum for Next Generation Researchers which took place in 12-13 October at Strasburg. The main objectives of the forum were to develop a dialog between the present and future generations of researchers on the needs to manage future scientific development and to generate innovation for the benefit of a sustainable development of the world society.
To contribute to the generation of seeds to stimulate further international communication / collaboration designed to solve the major energy related problems facing the world. Dr Binas gave a talk titled "Innovative Materials for a sustainable Future, Improving Quality of Life" & summarized  CCQCN project and objectives.
