    The promise of two-dimensional electron gases in quantum wells for wide-ranging quantum devices

    The promise of two-dimensional electron gases in quantum wells for wide-ranging quantum devices

    Two-dimensional electron gases in quantum wells are a powerful resource for several quantum technology applications, including quantum sensing, metrology, and topological quantum computing.     In a conventional quantum computer, information is localized within a single particle (or qubit). Noise that affects that qubit can cause quantum information to get scrambled and lost. For fault-tolerant quantum […]

    Building Blocks for Quantum Neuromorphic Computing: Superconducting Quantum Memcapacitors

    Quantum neuromorphic computing (QNC) is a novel method that combines quantum computing with brain-inspired neuromorphic computing. Neuromorphic computing performs computations using a complex ensemble of artificial neurons and synapses (i.e., electrical circuits) to emulate the human brain. QNC may lead to a quantum advantage by realizing these components with quantum memory elements, or memelements, which […]

    Enabling Next-Generation Sustainable Computing through Novel Multi-Valued-Logic Quantum Devices

    As the demand for digital services grows, so does the need for data centres and transmission networks. Unfortunately, these data systems consume vast amounts of energy, resulting in nearly 1% of all energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. This project aims to invent novel quantum devices for highly energy-efficient computing that may help reduce the global digital […]

    Structured Light Applications in Vision Science

    Eye diseases such as macular degeneration can have a devastating impact on quality of life. Early detection and treatment are thus crucial for preventing irreversible vision loss. A previous study found that the human eye can detect differences in ‘structured’ light beams. Such light beams are composed of a coherent superposition of differently polarized planar […]

    Photonic Quantum Processor

    Photonic quantum processors based on integrated quantum photonic circuits require entangled photon pairs to perform quantum computations. However, current state-of-the-art technologies utilize probabilistic entangled photon sources with limited pair-extraction efficiencies, negatively affecting the computation speed. This project aims to boost the speed of on-chip quantum operations by using bright, on-demand entangled photon sources with an […]

    Spin Generation and High-Frequency Detection via the Quantum Nonlinear Anomalous Hall Effect in Weyl Semimetals

    In magnetic conductors, the passage of current yields an electric field in the transverse direction even without an external magnetic field – this is known as the anomalous Hall effect (AHE). This effect can act as a convenient probe of spin ordering, magnetic textures, spin-orbit coupling, and band topology in solids, and can be further […]

    Visible wavelength external cavity diode lasers in photonic integrated circuits for atomic technologies

    Atoms can be controlled by manipulating their internal states using agile, quiet and reliable laser sources. An external-cavity diode laser (ECDL) is a crucial enabling technology to realize such laser sources since it allows for the narrowing of the linewidth of a laser diode and precise tuning of the laser frequency. This project aims to […]

    Identifying the Potential of Quantum Dots to Detect and Disrupt Tau Protein Aggregation in Alzheimer’s Disease

    Identifying the Potential of Quantum Dots to Detect and Disrupt Tau Protein Aggregation in Alzheimer’s Disease

    Specific tests for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis are currently unavailable, despite AD being the leading cause of dementia. One hallmark of AD progression is the aggregation of tau proteins into paired helical filaments and neurofibrillary tangles, which is accelerated by the hyperphosphorylation of Tau proteins. However, the mechanism by which the hyperphosphorylated tau accelerates protein […]

    Coherent magnon generation, magnon condensation, and quantum spin liquids via spin pumping in 2D magnets

    Summary  Developing hybrid quantum systems is essential to harnessing the complementary advantages of different quantum technology platforms. This necessitates the successful transfer of quantum information between platforms, which can be achieved, e.g., by harnessing magnons, or spin wave excitations, in magnetic materials. Decoherence due to uncontrolled coupling of qubits to the environment remains a fundamental […]
