A new research project focussed  on Organic Quantum Integrated devices (ORQUID) together with partners in the Netherlands, Spain, Great Britain and France lead by Prof. Wolfram Pernice starts in April. The exciting new possibilites of using single oranic molecules for interfacing between photons, electrons and phonons will be explored to build quantum photonic networks!
