PhD students of the Center for Quantum Metamaterials became the winners of the jubilee conference
The 30th anniversary scientific conference named after E.V. Armensky was held at the Higher School of Economics, bringing together young researchers, PhD students and students working in advanced areas of modern science and technology. This year, the event once again became a platform for discussing current scientific results and exchanging ideas in the fields of physics, materials science and computational methods. The conference was particularly successful for the PhD students of the Center for Quantum Metamaterials who have demonstrated a high level of training and the significance of their research.
‘We Have Come Very Close to Exploring the Field of Superconducting Electronics’
Interdisciplinary research is a defining feature of modern science, and this trend is especially pronounced in the field of quantum technologies. Physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology form the core fields of research at the Centre for Quantum Metamaterials of the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics (MIEM). Prof. Alexei Vagov, director of the centre, discusses its key activities, which focus on exploring the prospects of creating materials with predefined properties through manipulating their structure at the quantum level.
The Director of the Center for Quantum Metamaterials took part in Agora television program on CULTURE TV channel
Professor Vagov, the Director of the Center for Quantum Metamaterials at the HSE University's MIEM, , appeared as an expert in the Agora TV program on CULTURE TV channel on Saturday, April 18. The episode was dedicated to the topic "Quantums: How to Live in an Unstable World?". The participants discussed the fundamental issues of quantum physics and their philosophical interpretations.
The Center for Quantum Metamaterials has received a grant from the Russian Science Foundation for research in the field of terahertz electronics
The application of the Center for Quantum Metamaterials has become the winner of the 2026 Russian Science Foundation competition for conducting fundamental and exploratory scientific research. The project "Study of Subgap Absorption Mechanisms in Disorderly Superconducting Films for the Development of Terahertz Electronics Devices" will be implemented under the supervision of the Center's Director, Dr. Alexey Vagov.
From Atoms to Regulatory Systems: Highlights from Project Defences of Scientific Initiative Competition
HSE University has hosted the final defences of student projects submitted to the Scientific Initiative Competition organised by the Centre for Student Academic Development. Over the course of the year, participants worked on research projects spanning all stages of the research process, from defining a scientific problem to analysing results, and public defence marked the final stage of the competition.
Center for Quantum Metamaterials held a scientific seminar on the connection between superconductivity and time reversal symmetry breaking
Dr. V. A. Grinenko, researcher at the Li Zhengdao Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, has told the seminar participants about the new data on spontaneous fields and clustering of vortices in the Sr2RuO4 superconductor and their explanation.
The Center's Scientists Have Presented The Key Results At The International Conference on Superconductivity and Quantum Materials.
April 26 - May 4, 2025, Fethiye (Turkey) hosted a major international scientific forum – the ICSM2025 and ICQMT2025 joint conference, which brought together the world's leading experts in the field of superconductivity, magnetism, innovative and quantum materials. The Forum has become an important platform for discussing the latest experimental and theoretical achievements aimed at developing advanced technologies and searching for new functional materials.The Center's scientists traditionally take an active part in this conference, demonstrating a high level of scientific research and strengthening international scientific ties.
Scientific seminar of the Centre for Quantum Metamatirials will be held on the topic of high entropy materials as multifunctional catalysts for energy-related applications on February 27, 2025
MIEM Associate Professor A.M. Ostovari will talk about high-entropy materials, their classification and application in the field of energy storage and catalysis.
The seminar will be held at 17:00, February 27 (Thursday), 2025, in auditorium 501 (Academic Council Hall), MIEM. Everyone is invited to attend.
Dr. Alexey Vagov, Director of the Center, took part in the International Russia—Brazil Partnership Day, organized at the Higher School of Economics jointly with the Brazilian Embassy in Moscow on October 14.
This event launched the First Brazilian academic and scientific Mission in Russia, and one of its results was the signing of cooperation agreements between the Higher School of Economics and four Brazilian universities.
Congratulations to the new PhDs!
On October 2, 2024, Vyacheslav Neverov, the Centers' research intern defended his PhD thesis.
