The Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience has gathered competence and talent to form a unique research environment in the areas of nano- and quantum electronics, photonics, bio- and nano systems. Today we are a strong contributor to industrial growth and technical and social development. Our cross-disciplinary strategy gives interesting collaborations with Swedish and international partners within academy, industry and society, and is a driving force for innovations, results and breakthroughs.
Research areas
Our research areas focus on future nano- and quantum electronics, photonics, microwave electronics and bio- and nanosystems.
Education
With a unique research competence we offer education at undergraduate level, postgraduate level and within international master's programmes. The greatest extent of our educational instruction takes place as an integral part of masters and research school level programmes.
Centres and collaborations
The department is home of and partner in a number of centers - some of them are run in collaboration with other departments at Chalmers, others are run in collaboration with other universities.
Watch the film about the creation of a quantum computer at Chalmers!
This quantum computer is part of the 100 million-plus-dollar project WACQT - Wallenberg Center for Quantum Technology. The research is underway now at several universities in Sweden and is led by Per Delsing at Chalmers University of Technology where the computer itself is built.
A Quantum Researcher's Journey
He began studying physics at the university at the age of 12 and earned his doctorate at 22. Today, Aamir Ali works as a research specialist in quantum technology at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience. Watch him talk about his research journey, how quantum computing actually works, and why he chose a career in science in the first place.
Watch the film about Chalmers clean-room
Myfab Chalmers is a state-of-the-art Nanofabrication Laboratory, also known as a clean room. Here, researchers and companies develop and manufacture cutting-edge components for technologies such as quantum computers and wireless communication.
