Our work focuses on quantum optomechanics and magnetomechanics experiments to generate non-classical states of large-mass systems and tot test fundamental theories of nature, such as quantum mechanics and gravity.
Our research addresses fundamental questions in the overlap of quantum theory and general relativity using quantum information and metrology techniques. We study how to use quantum systems to measure gravitational waves and set constraints on dark energy
The Quantum Control group investigates new methods for the optical cooling, trapping and manipulation of atoms and molecules, using temporally and spatially programmed laser fields and nanostructured surfaces.
The Quantum nanoPhotonics (QnP) Laboratory interest is focused on the development of new platforms for quantum technologies and quantum information sciences based on the integration of photons and emitters in the solid state. Contact: Dr Alberto Politi
Our research group investigates light-matter interaction at the nanoscale with the aim of both unveiling fundamental quantum phenomena and fabricating novel devices with added quantum functionalities.
Our research interests lie in quantum light-matter interactions between atomic ensembles and single photons, to form large-scale quantum photonic networks for the processing of quantum information over global distances.
We combine the purity of inorganic semiconductors and the versatility of organic materials and colloidal nanoparticles in novel hybrid configurations and we explore the properties and possible applications of this amalgamation.
The Quantum Theory and Technology group aims to explore the most mysterious corners of the quantum world for fun and profit. Our main expertise is in cavity quantum electrodynamics and semiconductor optics, but we have a broad interest in all areas.
The group is the world leader in theoretical description of light-matter coupling phenomena in low-dimensional semiconductor structures.
Our research focuses on developing and understanding the properties of materials whose nanometer scale size means that their properties are modified from that of their parent material.
Our research is aimed at developing fundamental understanding and new applications using nanophotonics, integrated in areas such as silicon photonic chips, photonic AI, metasurfaces and biomedicine.
Our research focuses on optical properties and nonlinear effects in photosensitive materials, primarily in liquid crystals and polymers, and their applications in sensing, fibre and integrated optics devices.
Our group develops new nanomaterials and customizes their surface chemistry for targetibility and dispersity in complex media. Functional nanomaterials are used for diagnostics, drug delivery, new LEDs, photovoltaic devices and photonics.
Our main focus is integration of THz spectroscopy to open routes for biological applications and microfluidics. We develop passively mode-locked optically-pumped Vertical-External-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VECSELs) as compact versatile sources.
Our research is focussed on the use of coherent X-ray diffraction and imaging techniques to study phenomena in strongly correlated materials on the nanoscale.
We aim to develop the miniature components and underpinning technologies that will transform ultra-sensitive quantum-enabled measurement and information processing mechanisms ('atom chips') from laboratory demonstrations into practical integrated devices.
