Lund University launches largest-ever global recruitment drive for researchers 🌏👏   The search is on for 25 researchers from around the world in Lund University’s largest ever international recruitment drive. The main focus will be on AI research and other areas in which the University has a strategic focus.   Lund University’s body of researchers is getting reinforcements. If all goes according to plan, no fewer than 25 new researchers from all over the world will arrive in Lund this autumn. The recruitment targets are both early-career researchers and professors.   “In an uncertain world where free research and education are under intense pressure, Lund University is making its largest ever investment in international recruitment. The aim is to attract young talent in order to build creative environments for future research and education, while also linking established leading researchers to the University,” says Erik Renström, Vice-Chancellor of Lund University.   🔗 Full article: https://lnkd.in/dAkxWrMy

A new study has recently been published in Nature Communications: "Observation of Genuine High-dimensional Multi-partite Non-locality in Entangled Photon States" Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gxwE2meZ This work marks a significant advancement in high-dimensional quantum technologies, demonstrating—for the first time—genuine multi-partite non-locality in entangled photon states beyond qubit systems. Using entanglement in the path degree of freedom, controlled via polarization, the researchers prepared three- and four-particle GHZ states in three-level systems (qutrits). The results show violations of local-hidden-variable theories stronger than those achievable with qubits—paving the way for more powerful quantum protocols. Key highlights: * High-dimensional, multi-partite entanglement * Efficient generation of qutrit GHZ states * Stronger non-locality than qubit systems allow * New directions for quantum communication and computation. Congratulations to first authors Xiao-Min Hu and Cen-Xiao Huang, University of Science and Technology of China, and all co-authors! A special recognition goes to the contributors from the Department of Physics and NanoLund, Lund University : Nicola D'Alessandro, Gabriele Cobucci and Armin Tavakoli — excellent contributions to this international collaboration. #QuantumPhysics #QuantumInformation #HighDimensionalEntanglement #QuantumNonlocality #Qutrits #QuantumOptics #Photonics #GHZStates #QuantumComputing #QuantumTechnology #NatureCommunications #LundUniversity #NanoLund #USTC #TUWien #WACQT

🇸🇪💡Sweden is rapidly building a resilient, innovation-driven semiconductor ecosystem - spanning everything from materials to design and production. At Semicon Sweden, we’re proud to spotlight the key initiatives accelerating Sweden’s national momentum, and contributing to Europe’s broader semiconductor ambitions. These projects, funded by the EU and coordinated under Tillvaxtverket's national strategy, are laying the foundation for Sweden’s long-term tech sovereignty: 🔹 Halvledare – En svensk värdekedja: Building a complete GaN and SiC-based national supply chain. https://lnkd.in/g3yS4JMM Östra Mellansverige | Led by Innovative Materials Arena 🔹 Semiconductor Arena Boosting deeptech scaling and academic–industry partnerships. https://lnkd.in/dwsGPsrn Stockholm | Led by Kista Science City 🔹 Myfab Lund Modern labs for prototyping and scale-up in Science Village. https://lnkd.in/dqwC-i5f Skåne and Blekinge | Led by Lund University 🔹Myfab Chalmers Upgrading cleanrooms for safer, more efficient R&D. https://lnkd.in/e2kTDeFw Västsverige | Led by Chalmers University of Technology 🔹 Myfab Uppsala Bridging academia and tech industry through infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/gAS-GQ6Y Östra Mellansverige | Led by Uppsala University 🔹 Strengthening the Semiconductor Ecosystem (Semicon Sweden) A nationwide initiative supporting capacity-building, visibility, and global collaboration. https://semiconsweden.com/ National | Hosted by Svensk Elektronik with initial project partners including RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Lund University, Halmstad University, Ideon Science Park, PhotonicSweden, Regional utveckling - Region Skåne, Region Östergötland. 🤝🏻 Semicon Sweden collaborates closely with Swedish Chips Competence Centre (SCCC) – Sweden’s national hub within the EU Chips Joint Undertaking hub backed by Vinnova, to align regional strengths with national and European ambitions. SCCC is jointly led by Lund University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Chalmers Industriteknik https://sccc.se/ Beyond these, Sweden is also driving impact through: – Pilot Line 4 → https://lnkd.in/gb58uzEH – C3NiT → https://c3nit.se/ – ClassIC → https://lnkd.in/gCb7sGg5 – ACT → https://lnkd.in/g_SCDPdd – Sentio → https://www.sentio.lu.se/ – NextG → https://lnkd.in/gZWijQg9 – WiTech → https://lnkd.in/gAcNtTZW 🧭 Explore Sweden’s full semiconductor landscape: https://lnkd.in/gSitnSe5 Together with our partners, we're shaping a robust, future-ready semiconductor value chain — aligned with Europe’s strategic goals. #Semiconductors #ChipsAct #TechSovereignty #SwedenInnovation

☘️ We are happy and proud to be awarded the Platinum Certification by My Green Lab! 🌟 🌏 💚 🍾 Last year, Sarah McKibbin received funding from the Lund University #Sustainability Fund for a project aimed at making the Lund Nano Lab greener by optimising lab routines, minimising unnecessary consumption of lab consumables, recycling when possible, and improving user behavior. This has now resulted in recognition from a laboratory sustainability programme – My Green Lab. “The team will continue to implement further sustainability measures and actively engage with the user community to raise awareness and promote responsible lab practices. Support from Tillväxtverket – the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth – towards improving sustainability will enable us to build on this momentum and ensure that greening the Lund Nano Lab remains a long-term priority,” says Luke Hankin, head of Lund Nano Lab (Myfab Lund).

In Lund university Semiconductor Office we establish presence in Science Village, Lund. We are forward looking and build on competence centers and EU-projects. With close proximity to Lund large scale infrastructure #ESS and #Max IV, we wait for the new Nano Lab and further Lund university infrastructure. And we are very open for semiconductor collaboration with industry and academy, in Sweden, Europe, and globally! https://lnkd.in/dM7X-j2C

Work at Myfab Lund / Lund Nano Lab; Enhancing cancer treatment by improving how therapeutic nanoparticles enter and act within cells is a promising direction. Christelle Prinz and her team have shown that photothermal therapy is more effective when the nanoparticles target the endoplasmic reticulum, which is achieved by performing nanostraw injections.
