A team including researchers from the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich found a method for creating electrically defined quantum dots with the potential for long-sought tunability and scalability.

Apprentices from four different professional careers paths within the vocational training programme managed by the Department of Physics had to work in teams to build an interactive exhibition item in the Physics4mation pilot project. They learned how to collaborate with colleagues, carry out interdisciplinary work and handle failure. The Physics4mation project will now be part of the vocational training programme in the physics department.
