CREF promotes original and high-impact lines of research, based on physical methods, but with a strong interdisciplinary character and in relation to the main problems of the modern knowledge society.
The CREF was born with a dual soul: a research centre and a historical museum. Its aim is to preserve and disseminate the memory of Enrico Fermi and to promote the dissemination and communication of scientific culture.
Higher education and projects for young researchers
The Computational Photonics Laboratory is equipped with the necessary infrastructure to create the first prototypes of photonic computing machines and to perform the associated optical experiments. The laboratory has stabilized optical tables, laser sources in the visible and near-infrared spectral band, spatial light modulators for visible and infrared light, optical detectors, optical components and optomechanical accessories. There are workstations based on conventional calculators dedicated to theoretical investigation, numerical simulations and data analysis. For the engineering of physical computing platforms, consisting of photonic systems characterized by disorder and non-linearity, the laboratory makes use of collaborations with prestigious international research institutes such as the ETH in Zurich and the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, as well as of facilities present in the Institute of Complex Systems ISC of the CNR in Rome.
