This ERC-funded project represents a significant theoretical advancement by experimentally linking quantum geometry with spintronics to enhance data storage efficiency. The research aims to fill a critical gap in understanding how quantum metrics influence spintronic phenomena, potentially revolutionizing next-generation memory technologies through fundamental physics rather than incremental engineering.
European Research Council finds spin & quantum physics boost data storage

PSI’s Giacomo Sala received a €2.2 million ERC grant to combine spintronics with emerging concepts in quantum geometry.
© Paul Scherrer Institute PSI/Markus Fischer · psi.ch PSI physicist Giacomo Sala will receive approximately CHF 2.2 million from the European Research Council (ERC) to combine spintronics and quantum geometry in his Q-GEOMSPIN project. This novel approach, uniting established and emerging fields of physics, aims to create more efficient data storage and is now directly funded by the ERC thanks to Switzerland’s full association with EU research programs since the end of 2025. “As far as I know, up to now no one has linked these two fields experimentally,” says Sala of the…
