Welcome to the Quantum, Light & Matter group!

The research of the QLM group explores all aspects of photonics, condensed matter physics and the interaction of light and matter at the quantum level. Ranging from atom chips to x-ray generation, our research emphasizes the themes of nanostructuring, optical control and quantum coherence, with a common interest in physics at the nano-scale where quantum mechanical behaviour comes to the fore. We lead many interdisciplinary projects in collaboration with colleagues in Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics, Electronics and Biological Sciences. The group occupies modern, highly-serviced laboratories, including the Nanomaterials Rapid Prototyping Facility, and has access to the university's new £80M Nanofabrication Facility.
