    Summary

     

    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. In this device, individual water molecules are trapped inside C60 fullerene cages (also known as buckyballs), which in turn are inserted into a carbon nanotube. Such a peapod-like structure can be created using recent advances in organic synthesis. Remarkably, the quantum level structure of the guest molecule in the carbon nanotube peapod remains nearly identical to a free molecule, which makes this system a promising platform for implementing quantum information protocols, comparable to those explored with atoms and molecules trapped in optical lattices. Along the way, we are working to understand the response of the device to external electromagnetic fields, which could open the door to its use for precision electric field sensing with potential capabilities to detect fields from a single molecule.

    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 […]

    Tuning Spin-Exchange Interactions in Low-Dimensional Metal Halide Perovskites: A New Class of Semiconductor Quantum Materials

    Summary  Leakage current in electronic components is one of the limiting factors for the performance of conventional computers which use charges and currents as physical information carriers. Spintronics offers an alternative by using electron spin for information transfer, processing and storage, enabling the design of non-volatile computer memory and more energy-efficient electronic devices. In this […]

    Free-space Polarization-selective Microcavity based on Chiral Metasurfaces

    Summary Developing a new type of Fabry-Pérot cavity that allows improved control of the atoms’ emission into the cavity mode will result in enhancement of the efficiency and fidelity of quantum state transfer from photons to atoms and back. This in turn can be used to improve the performance of quantum networks and repeaters, as […]

    Novel Superconducting Qubits for Error-Corrected Processors

    Summary In this project, we develop novel superconducting qubits for error-corrected processors to enable large-scale quantum computing. Our design efforts will specifically target error-corrected architectures through a variety of paths. Possible features will include built-in parity measurements and the use of bosonic codes, such as Fock state and Cat codes, as our starting focus. Early […]
