Lorenzo Tesi Awarded an ERC Start­ing Grant

Dr. Lorenzo Tesi, Emmy Noether Junior Group Leader at the Univer­sity of Stutt­gart and IQST Fellow, has been awarded an ERC Start­ing Grant for his research on molecu­lar spin qubits. His project, PLASMOLE-QIT, aims to develop new approaches for detect­ing and controlling individual molecu­lar spin qubits at the nanoscale, paving the way for new applic­a­tions in quantum sensing and molecular-based quantum technologies. 

The ERC Start­ing Grant builds on Tesi’s research into molecu­lar spin qubits and contin­ues a research direc­tion that has also received support from IQST. In 2025, his work was funded through the IQST Boost­ing Programme, which supports early-stage projects explor­ing new ideas in quantum science and technology.
