The "RADAR" project carries out RESEARCH for the new generation of reconfigurable "smart" microwave power transceivers combining disruptive nanotechnology and micro/nanoelectronics concepts with 2D and 3D heterogeneous integration, CREATES products with increased functionality and performance exceeding the current state of art and INNOVATES in the transceiver market, exploiting a "Unique business window opportunity" for applications in market segments ranging from future 5G wireless networks to upcoming ground and airborne radars.

The basic idea of the project is to design and manufacture a smart, wearable insole with built-in pressure measurement sensors, other micro-electronic sensing elements and communication devices to tackle the challenge of efficient gait monitoring in real life. Furthermore, a smartphone application will display the sensor data in real-time via Bluetooth low energy connection. The project also aims at the development of specialized patient/citizen monitoring services which are made feasible by the Smart Insole platform. These innovations will be the basis for designing new services for the early diagnosis of specific patho-logical conditions, monitoring their development and evaluating the use of wearable sensor platforms as clinical diagnostic tools.

The "Analogue Polaritaron Simulator" project aims to develop a new platform of analogue quantum simulators based on the use of polariton concentrates. Due to the great flexibility that these systems provide and their room temperature functionality, the polariton simulators have emerged in recent years as one of the most promising systems to make the transition from classical computers to the era of quantum simulators. A prerequisite for highlighting the quantum behavior of these systems is the strong interaction between polaritones responsible for the non-linear behavior of the system. In order to achieve this goal, we plan to design and study appropriate structures that promote on-site interaction by increasing the bipolar polariton interactions and use lateral photonic confinement. The ability to visualize and reproduce many body condensed matter problems in a macroscopic system of interacting polariton condensates and help us investigate a variety of physical phenomena that are not easily accessible with conventional computers.

Quantum simulators may provide unprecedented insights into physical phenomena and have the potential to enable radically new technologies. Analog dynamical quantum simulators constitute a class of quantum machines outperforming classical computers. In this project POLISIMULATOR, we undertake a two-fold approach: We devise versatile and practical platforms for dynamical quantum simulators with lattices of semiconductor exciton polaritons; and we conduct an interdisciplinary research programme to build quantum devices and assess their computational capabilities. We then use those devices to probe important questions in fundamental and applied physics, ranging from technology-relevant problems concerning dynamics of coherent and dissipative transport processes, to long-standing challenges in physics of non-equilibrium many-body phenomena.
