    Summary

     

    As part of an effort to improve quantum sensing, we are developing new semiconductor p-n junctions and designing novel nanowire arrays that have the potential to significantly enhance the ability to detect light at the single photon level over an unprecedented wavelength range from the ultraviolet to infrared. We are working to demonstrate high-speed single-photon detection with broadband high efficiency from the visible to near-infrared range (450-900 nm), with no need for cryogenic cooling. In the future, it will be possible to extend detection into the infrared wavelengths by changing the semiconductor material from InP to InGaAs. Applications resulting from this work can improve a broad range of technologies. These include quantum computing, quantum cryptography, single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy, laser remote sensing (LIDAR), and single oxygen luminescence for cancer treatment dose monitoring.

    Quantum Information Processing with Molecular Lattices

    The aim of the work is to develop theoretical tools to simulate and predict the behaviour of a one-dimensional chain of trapped dipolar molecules and to study the nature of entanglement as a design resource.

    Chiral Quantum Antenna Based on Multilayer Metasurface

    Chiral Quantum Antenna Based on Multilayer Metasurface

    Summary   Individual atoms can act as stationary qubits and thus serve as nodes in quantum computing networks or as memories for quantum repeaters. However, to successfully use qubits based on single atoms suspended in free space, photons emitted by a single atom need to be efficiently collected. Conventionally, this can be done with  high […]

    Combined momentum- and real-space photoelectric probes of dimensionality-tuned Weyl semimetals

    Summary   The library of two-dimensional (2D) materials has recently grown to include topological insulators and semimetals. Their incorporation in special device geometries may lead to novel quantum electronics with enhanced functionalities. Weyl semimetals, in particular, offer the most robust form of topological protection. Recent results from our group indicate that Weyl nodes should be […]

    Quantum Sensing with Small Quantum Systems

    Summary   There are small quantum systems over which we have very good control and which have long lifetimes. Examples include the phosphorous (P) defect in silicon (Si) and the nitrogen vacancy (NV) defect in diamond. With P defect in Si, we focus on improving our understanding of the hyperpolarization mechanism to better enable engineering of […]
