    Summary 

    Realizing highly integrated quantum photonic devices on a chip can enable new opportunities for photonic quantum computation. In this project, we explore heterostructures of stacked two-dimensional (2D) materials, such transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) or graphene, combined with optical microcavities as a platform for such devices. 2D materials are extremely thin and flexible, and have emerged as a host for a range of exciting new quantum phenomena, in particular when different 2D materials are stacked together. We plan to address the challenges of stacking more than two layers of 2D materials and of extending the stacking methods to produce wafer-scale structures, as well as the challenges of making this platform compatible by with CMOS infrastructure for future integration towards large-scale quantum photonic computation and networks. We will achieve our goal through an interdisciplinary effort involving deep physical and chemical knowledge, state-of-the-art nanofabrication processing techniques and facilities, extensive material and device characterization measurements, and theoretical investigations.

    Ultrafast Dynamical Studies of Valley-Based Qubits

    Summary   As monolayers, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) – such as tungsten diselenide (WSe2) – become direct-bandgap semiconductors capable of emitting light. Compared to conventional direct-bandgap semiconductors, such as III-V semiconductors like GaAs, excitons (quasiparticles made of an electron hole bound with an electron) and single-layer TMDCs (SL-TMDCs) have much stronger binding energy. Excitons and […]

    Quantum Sensing Applications using Quantum Communication Technology

    Summary   The Quantum Encryption and Science Satellite provides a platform to develop and deploy quantum sensing and metrology via photonic channels. This project will build upon ‘free-space’ quantum communication technology and explore new approaches and methods to advance two primary applications: quantum-enhanced telescopes, and spectroscopic sensing for methane detection in the atmosphere. For the […]

    Quantum Computational Resources in the Presence of Symmetry

    Summary Fault-tolerance is essential to the performance of quantum technologies, but known schemes are extremely resource intensive. Thus, improving existing schemes or inventing new schemes is of central importance. This joint project is based on the realization that fault-tolerance schemes make use of symmetries in fundamental ways, and that studying the problem of fault tolerance […]
