Quantum photonics research based on solid-state quantum structures.
Our research aims to efficiently generate and manipulate photonic and spin qubits from solid-state quantum structures for scalable and integrated quantum system.
Solid-state quantum systems such as quantum dots, defects, and atomic layersprovide the most promising platform for studying light-matter interaction and quantum information science on a chip. These systems have many advantages as a source of stationary and photonic qubits: fast operation, current-driven device, electrical control, integration with optoelectronic components on-a-chip. However, these man-made quantum structures also have many obstacles due to the randomness in their position and energy. Also strong phonon interaction with environment decores the quantum state. Therefore, new materials, device structures, and control techniques are required for practical use of the solid-state quantum system.
To solve the existing problems in the solid-state quantum systems and to achieve the challenging goals we perform the following experiments based on fundamental understating of quantum physics.
Fabrication of quantum photonic devices for enhanced light-matter interaction
Manipulation of quantum devices for engineered and integrated quantum system
Optical control and characterization of quantum system for studying and controlling the quantum state.
