National Centres of Competence in Research

The Department of Physics hosts two National Competence Centres in Research (NCCR), a programme of the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Molecular Ultrafast Science and Technology (MUST)

NCCR MUST is an interdisciplinary research program launched in 2010. It brings together 16 Swiss research groups working in Ultrafast Science across the fields of physics and chemistry.

Spin Qubits in Silicon (SPIN)

NCCR SPIN, hosted at the University of Basel, aims to make a major contribution to research into and the development of quantum computers and create the basis for a new information-processing technology.  A total of 19 research group heads are involved: seven from the University of Basel, six from IBM Research – Zurich, four from ETH Zurich, and two from EPF Lausanne.
