Next-generation quantum detectors show significant promise in medical applications and beyond
Researchers supported by Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) have fabricated quantum detectors with remarkable electrical and optical properties that will advance photodetection across a broad range of applications. Detection of light down to the single photon level opens up new possibilities for various technologies. “When dose monitoring for cancer treatment, we need high sensitivity photon detection […]

Portable Quantum Dot Measurement System
Summary Detecting heavy metals in water is essential to ensure clean drinking water and appropriate regulatory decisions following an accident (e.g., a spill) or an emergency. Traditionally, high-sensitivity detection of heavy metals requires bulky and costly (to purchase and operate) lab-based instruments. We propose developing a palm-sized, element-specific, highly-sensitive, battery-operated, smartphone-controlled system for on-site measurement […]

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.
