The refurbishment of the lab hosting the EPSRC-funded Quantum Magnetometry facility has been recently concluded and Muhammad Junaid Arshad has started his job as Experimental Officer for the facility. First equipment deliveries will be with us soon.. stay tuned, exciting times ahead!

Two new group members have joined us recently. Malte Kroj is going to spend six months as a visiting master student, carrying out experiments on Fourier spectroscopy of single quantum emitters. Nick Werren is a theory post-doc joining our work on learning quantum systems, funded by the Quantum-Enhanced Imaging hub (joint with Erik Gauger and…

Several new group members are starting this week: Issam (PhD student, working on quantum magnetometry of 2D complex materials), Alex (PhD student, working on SiC quantum devices), Bibi (PhD student, working on quantum photonics with 2D semicnductors) and Harikumar (post-doc, working on fiber-connectorisation of quantum photonic devices). Welcome all!

An 18-month Theoretical Post-Doctoral Research Associate position is available, under the supervision of Cristian Bonato on the application of Bayesian inference and machine learning to nanoscale quantum sensing and magnetic resonance. Please get in touch asap if interested!

We have two post-doc positions available, one experimental on low-temperature scanning single-spin magnetometry and one theoretical on machine learning applied to quantum sensing. Please contact Cristian Bonato asap! More information here.

Christiaan Bekker got awarded a 5-years fellowship by the Royal Academy of Engineering, to develop quantum opto-electronic devices in silicon carbide. Congratulations Christiaan and looking forward to amazing results!

Shining sun and blue sky for our group hike to the top of Ben Vrackie! The calories lost were soon compensated by a great dinner together, with adequate beer supply.

Daniel White successfully defended his PhD today, with a thesis on “Novel Quantum Emitters for Integrated Quantum Photonics”. Congratulations Daniel, and all the best with your new career as a data scientist!

Want to study the exotic physics of correlated electrons in 2D materials with a quantum sensor? There’s a great PhD opportunity waiting for you, which includes a 9 month stay at Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. Please email Cristian asap for more info (UK nationals only)

Zak Koong successfully defended his PhD this morning, with a thesis on “Coherent Light-Matter Interaction in Semiconductor Quantum Dots”. Congratulations Zak, and all the best for the next steps in your career! Zak will be next taking up a post-doctoral position in Innsbruck, to work on trapped ions.
