Quantum Technology

We are an experimental research group developing new quantum technologies using silicon, the material that is already ubiquitous around us in computers, mobiles and all everyday electronics, and hence provides unique possibilities for integrating the quantum components with existing photonic or electronic circuits. Our group focuses especially in creating new kinds of quantum hybrid systems by coupling spins in silicon to mechanical and photonic elements and advancing the uses of the photonic crystal optomechanical structures. The motivation for our research is both in enabling practical quantum sensors and quantum computing components of the future and in probing fundamental physics in these on-chip quantum physics testbeds.
