They are based on optimizing the photon lifetime and oxidizing the apertures from previously etched holes. Increase of output power, roll-over current, cut-off frequency and reduction of series resistance are predicted. Using QDs as active material at longer wavelengths beyond 1150 nm is suggested.

Ambacher Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics (IAF), Tullastrasse 72, 79108 Freiburg, Germany; Email: [email protected] Diamond Spin-Photon-Based Quantum Computer Abstract Spins in solids, and among those from dopants in diamond, are close to ideal quantum bits with record relaxation and coherence time as well as excellent coherent control. Out-standing 1- and 2-qubit gate fidelities have been reported [1-3]. The physical implementation of thequbit architecture is based on dopants in diamond forming colour centres such as the nitrogen vacancy (NV) centre. This colour centre possess a paramagnetic ground state, that hosts electronic spin-systems. Their individual spin states can be initialized and readout optically with high fidelity. This central electron spin of the individual colour centres in diamond exhibit interactions with surrounding 13C nuclear spins, which can be controlled by microwave fields and thus allows it to function both as a readout and a quantum control unit of the nuclei. The 13C nuclear spins serve as physical qubits, whose different hyperfine interactions with the electron spins make them spectrally addressable. A central challenge that currently limits the scalability of the spin system is that the 1- and 2-qubit gates require frequency selectivity and, with an increasing number of nuclear spins, can no longer be implemented with a quality that is sufficient for deep algorithms. This is why we restrict the size of the number of nuclear spins per register to around 8 qubits. The key element to entangle local registers to upscale the number of nuclear spin qubits is the distribution of entanglement between electron spin qubits via photons. The lecture gives an overview of the state of the art of nuclear spin-based qubits and quantum gates and an insight into the functionality of future diamond spin-photon-based quantum computers.

[email protected] Measurement of the Out-of-Plane Susceptibility of Monolayer Graphene and MoS2 Abstract I report an experiment that measures, for the first timein the visible spectrum, the out-of-plane susceptibility of a single-layer two-dimensional (2D) crystal1. The sensitivity of an optical measurement to anisotropy is dependent on the path length of the light through the material, which is extremely limited for a monolayer 2D crystal. The substrate hides the contribution of the out-of-plane optical constants and experiments are only sensitive to the in-plane properties2. In order to remove the substrate contribution, an ideal measurement should be done on a large area free-standing 2D crystal. Unfortunately, the manipulation of such a crystal represents an extraordinary challenge. We successfully embed a single-layer 2D crystal in the middle of a polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) prism without altering its optical response. The PDMS does not add any spurious interface,possibly hiding the optical response of the 2D crystal. This trivializes the handling of the sampleand it allows for a complete optical characterization of a monolayer. We expect a precise measurement of the out-of-plane optical constants of 2D crystals to become of great importance in photonics and optoelectronics.

    Ultra-Short Multivariate Public Key Signatures { with Public Keys of Degree 2 { Jacques Patarin1, Gilles Macario-Rat2, Maxime Bros3, and Eliane Koussa1 1 Versailles Laboratory of Mathematics, UVSQ, CNRS, University of Paris-Saclay [email protected], [email protected] 2 Orange, Orange Gardens, 46 avenue de la R´epublique,F-92320 Ch^atillon,France [email protected] 3 University of Limoges, CNRS, XLIM, UMR 7252, F-87000 Limoges, France [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we study and construct multivariate schemes with \ultra-short" signatures. We focus on the classic case where the public key is a set of multivariate polynomials of degree 2. To design ultra-short signature schemes, we consider that signing a mes- sage and verifying a signature could require up to 1 minute of computa- tion on a modern personal computer. Shorter time could be considered but at the cost of a few additional bits in the signatures, more generally, a trade-off may be found between computation time and signature size, depending on the applications one is targeting. Despite the fact that a time of 1 minute is far bigger than the time re- quired by general purpose multivariate-based signature schemes, such as Rainbow, GeMMS, and Quartz, it enables us to reach ultra-short signa- ture lengths; for instance, around 70 bit-long signatures for a security of 80 bits. In a first part, we describe generic and specific attacks against multivari- ate public key signature schemes and use them to derive the minimal parameters that an ultra-short signature scheme could have.

    1734-A-1902 Model systems for heterogeneous catalysts at the atomic level Hans-Joachim Freund1 1 Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Our understanding of catalysis, and in particular heterogeneous catalysis, is to a large extent based on the investigation of model systems. Increasing the complexity of the models towards oxide supported nanoparticles, resembling a real disperse metal catalyst, allows one to catch in the model some of the important aspects that cannot be covered by metal or oxide single crystals per se. The main purpose of our studies is to provide conceptual insight into questions concerned with a variety of topics in catalysis, including support nanoparticle interaction, reactivity at the particle-support interface, strong metal support interaction, reactions in confined space and development of new instrumentation for surface science studies. The talk will address some of those issues. 1 1773-A-1902 Special metallic gasket sealing for the non-circular profile flanges Gao-Yu Hsiung1 1 NSRRC, Hsinchu, Taiwan Various types of the metallic gaskets for the non-circular profile flanges and the potential applications will be introduced. The sealing surface of flange is flat to accommodate the special metallic gasket with knife edges for the sealing. Both the flange and gasket are made of aluminum alloys and produced by the oil-free Ethanol-CNC-machining process that any non-circular profile, e. g. race-track, rectangular, key-hole, etc., flanges can be made. All the flanges and gaskets after oil-free machining can be assembled immediately without any chemical cleaning. The quality of ultrahigh vacuum at pressure < 20 nPa after vacuum baking has been approved.
