Welcome Daniel! By Cristian Bonato1st March 20187th March 2018 Daniel White joined us today, to start a PhD on the study of spin-active defects in SiC embedded in photonic and electronic devices. For this, he will build a new setup in our newly-refurbished lab, DB2.14. Good luck, Daniel!
Royal Society “Theo Murphy” meeting on SiC quantum devices By Cristian Bonato16th February 201816th February 2018 Our proposal to organize a Theo Murphy workshop about quantum devices in SiC has been accepted by the Royal Society! The meeting, organized by Cristian Bonato with Prof Joerg Wrachtrup (University of Stuttgart – Germany) and Dr Sang-Yun Lee (KIST, Seoul – Korea), will bring together quantum technology researchers with materials scientists, device engineers and…
Carnegie Trust Research Incentive Grant. By Cristian Bonato16th February 2018 We have been awarded a Research Incentive Grant by the Carnegie Trust, to study spins in single near-infrared colour centres in SiC embdedded in photonic structures, to enhance photo-luminescence collection. Looking forward to start!
Congratulations, Artur! By Cristian Bonato18th January 201818th January 2018 After four years of hard work and a successful viva, Artur Branny is now a Doctor! Both Artur and the external examiner looked very satisfied with his performance, as shown below. Congratulations Artur, and good luck for your future career!
ERC Consolidator starting! By Cristian Bonato1st January 201816th January 2018 The ERC Consolidator grant “2DQP: Two-dimensional quantum photonics”, awarded to Prof Gerardot, is starting today. The goal will be to engineer the ideal solid-state single quantum emitters of on-demand indistinguishable single photons, based on 2D materials. Congratulations Brian!
Welcome Hossein! By Cristian Bonato5th December 201710th December 2017 Hossein Dinani is visiting us from the group of Jeronimo Maze, Pontificia Universidad Catolica of Santiago (Chile). Hossein will be staying for a couple of weeks to collaborate on the application of Bayesian estimation to quantum sensing, in cases where single-shot readout is not available. This is relevant, for example, for magnetic field sensing using…
We welcome a visiting scholar! By Sarah Nutt29th November 2017 Dr Juan Francisco Sanchez Royo has joined us from Valencia for four months as a visiting scholar, to work on experiments involving luminescent properties of 2D materials based in h-BN, WSe2 and InSe.
Installation of New Imaging Ellipsometer By Sarah Nutt23rd November 2017 Today our EPSRC 2D Photonics Fabrication Facility received its first instrument: an Accurion EP4 Imaging Ellipsometer. We are excited to start using this to characterise and construct new 2D photonic devices!
