    chemistry grand challenge nitrogen vacancy nv defect in diamond p defect in si phosphorus sensing silicon

    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 quantum systems that are highly and quickly polarizable with long coherence times. With the NV defect in diamond, we are developing control methods to suppress zero-field splitting, a miniaturized optics setup and a small package for the required microwave and control hardware. We also utilize the NV defect in diamond as a chemical sensing platform to enable sensing of a target molecule of choice. Advancements in these areas offer the potential to transform a host of technologies from gyroscopes to magnetometers.

    Repurposing potential drug candidates for the treatment of COVID-19

    Summary The main protease (Mpro) in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has emerged as a promising drug target. The scientific community has produced a large number of crystallographic structures of the protease, which mediates viral replication and transcription. These structures report several fragments with varied chemotypes […]

    Materials for Majorana-based Topological Qubits

    Summary   Topological qubits offer a novel pathway to scalable quantum computing by simultaneously allowing for ease of coupling between qubits and strong decoupling of qubits from noise and dissipation. The most promising direction explores the topologically induced protection of theoretically predicted exotic quasiparticles, the so-called Majorana Zero Modes or MZMs. To-date MZMs, which follow […]

    Scanning Tunneling Microscopy of Quantum Materials, Devices and Molecules

    Summary   This project advances our ability to characterize and study novel quantum materials, quantum devices, and even individual molecules at the atomic level. By combining Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM), Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and scanning gate methods, we correlate spatial information with transport properties and can locally manipulate charge, spin and structural states.

    Hybrid Quantum Materials towards Topological Quantum Computing

    Summary   Proximity engineered hybrid materials have shown promise for topological quantum information processing. This form of quantum computing provides a stable, error-tolerant approach for building scalable quantum information processors. Topological quantum computing relies on braiding non-Abelian particles, such as Majorana fermions, which do not exist in nature. One can however use materials engineering to […]
