    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 project, we develop a new class of low-dimensional quantum materials for spintronics applications, which are based on colloidal metal halide perovskite semiconductor nanostructures. We explore the control of spin polarization in these systems based on magnetic exchange interactions between dopant centers and the nanocrystal charge carriers. A particular focus is on tuning spin exchange interactions by the selection of dopants and the ability to compositionally modulate nanocrystal band structure. Beyond spintronics, our results on spin interactions in metal halide perovskite nanostructures could open a new field of material research and ultimately result in new approaches to quantum information processing.

    Developing Tools for Quantum Characterization and Validation

    Summary   Coherence is essential for quantum computation; yet it introduces a unique sensitivity to any imperfections in hardware design, control systems, and the operating environment. Overcoming these sensitivities requires a hierarchy of strategies, ranging from optimization of the hardware architecture to software solutions including quantum error correction. Randomized Benchmarking Protocols are an important family of […]

    Applications of Neutron Interferometry and Structured Neutron Beams

    Summary Neutrons are a powerful probe of matter and physics due to their Angstrom size wavelengths, electric neutrality and relatively large mass. In this project, we develop quantum sensors that exploit these attributes to increases the precision of measurements of fundamental forces and materials structure. With David Cory, Alexander Cronin of the University of Arizona, […]

    Hybrid Quantum Repeater based on Atomic Quantum Memories and Telecom Wavelength Entangled Photon-Pairs Generated from Semiconductor Nanowires

    Summary   Losses in physical channels, such as optical fibres, limit existing quantum communication systems to modest distance ranges. Since amplification of quantum signals is fundamentally not possible,  we look to extend the range and functionality of these quantum channels by adding quantum memory nodes that can daisy-chain multiple lengths of quantum channels through entanglement […]

    Zero-Dimensional Quantum Materials for the Next Generation of Highly-Selective Chemical Sensors

    Summary   Heavy metals are a major public health concern and their on-site detection in water supplies is not well served by existing lab techniques. We develop a new multi-modal platform comprising functionalized quantum dots of two-dimensional materials (2D-QDs) for the sensing of four highly-toxic heavy metal pollutants (arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury). The zero-dimensional […]
