Light-matter interactions not only lie in the heart of extremely rich physics but can also be harvested with great potential for applications ranging from all optical logic circuits and on-chip quantum information processing, to cryptography and quantum metrology.
The Experimental Quantum Nanoscience Lab specializes in three particular research topics:
Physics and applications of polariton condensates in microcavities
- All-optical control of polariton fluids
- Novel topological entities and topologically protected computing
- Emulation of complex systems using polariton condensates
Solid-state quantum systems for quantum information and nanophotonics
- Coherent qubit control in scalable quantum emitter platforms: Site-controlled quantum-dots and silicon-vacancies in diamond
- Enhanced light-matter interactions at single quantum level
- Nanophotonic applications with III-V materials and diamond
Hybrid polariton-quantum dot platforms for scalable quantum hardware
- Development / investigation of a hybrid Polariton / Quantum dot system
- Use of excitonic quantum nonlinearities for scalable single / two qubit gates
- Development of fundamental components for on-chip quantum processors
