Aeppli is a world-leader in experimental studies of quantum magnetism. He showed that collective quantum effects have significant implications in many areas, from metals and insulators with properties unanticipated by ordinary solid state theory to quantum computation. He has also pioneered the microscopic examination of magnetic fluctuations in superconductors. |

Research Interests
|
|
Aeppli's scientific research is currently focused on the applications of nanotechnology and photon science to biomedicine and quantum information processing. Projects include the development of optical and microwave tools for medical diagnostics and pharmacology, where we are interested in new drug-target and antibody-antigen binding assays. We pay particular attention to obtaining specific, quantitative results, as well as to ease of use and (eventual) low cost for our engineered systems. Photo |
