    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.

    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 […]

    Novel High-Speed Receiver for Quantum Communication and Sensing

    Summary  An essential aspect of a quantum channel is the detection and analysis of quantum signals in the form of photons. For most free-space applications, the photons are polarization encoded, e.g. by assigning the ‘0’ to horizontally polarized photons and ‘1’ to vertically polarized photons. However, where the geometric reference is not constant at all […]

    Cryo-CMOS to Control and Operate 2D Fault-Tolerant Qubit Network

    Summary   Large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computation requires precise and stable control of individual qubits. This project will use complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology to provide a cost-effective scalable platform for reliable and high-density control infrastructure for silicon spin qubits. We will use sub-micron CMOS technology to address device and circuit-level challenges and explore the integration of […]

    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 […]
