Young group
Research interests and activities
My research group primarily focuses on quantum emitters and their application to quantum technology. While our work is primarily experimental, We have a strong track record of developing new protocols that exploit quantum emitters for quantum tech. Much of our research is dedicated to designing and characterising single photon sources, as well as working with electron spins in confined semiconductor structures, with a particular focus on spin-photon entanglement and its applications in quantum technology.
Our current main mission is to improve the manufacturability of quantum emitter-based devices. This involves working on better packaging of single photon sources and addressing surface states and defects that limit device performance. Additionally, we are exploring the use of electric fields to control quantum emitters and stabilise their emission wavelength.
