PD Dr. Shi-Xia Liu to head a newly opened research laboratory at the University of Bern

Thanks to the support of the Bernese entrepreneur and Honorary Senator of the University of Bern, Walter Inäbnit, the University of Bern has recently established the “W. Inäbnit Laboratory for Molecular Quantum Materials” at the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The newly opened laboratory will be headed by PD Dr. Shi-Xia Liu. As a long-time member of the University of Bern, Dr. Liu has been pioneering interdisciplinary research at the interface between synthetic chemistry, ultrafast spectroscopy and surface physics. In collaboration with quantum physics groups at the University of Basel, she explores the use of aromatic molecules as topologically protected superconducting quantum bits (qubits). The establishment of this new laboratory will allow Dr. Liu to push the boundaries of her innovative research into novel dimensions of materials chemistry.
