Quantum Nanophotonics
Welcome to the Quantum Nanophotonics (QNP) Group in the Physics department at the Ӱֱ of Adelaide. We work at the interface of condensed matter—aka solid-state physics, and quantum optics.
Our research includes
- The development of semiconductor and superconductor-based quantum materials;
- the integration of these materials into discrete devices or Ӱֱ;
- the characterisation of these devices;
- and even a bit of devices implementation in proof-of-concept systems.
What Does This Mean?
We focus on quantum optics and quantum photonics experiments based on nanoӰֱ. These nanoӰֱ are made from semiconductor materials—often artificially structured “quantum” materials. The optics experiments include low-temperature optical spectroscopy of quantum nanoӰֱ, making and testing semiconductor lasers, and making quantum lights sources. And finally, we use these quantum devices in simple, proof-of-principle system.
The Labs
Crystal Growth Lab
A quantum materials lab, based mostly on semiconductor materials, but also some oxides and superconducting materials.
Fabrication Lab
A fabrication lab where quantum materials are fabricated into Ӱֱ or devices.
Optics Lab
A quantum nanophotonics and quantum optics lab where we do characterisation of these Ӱֱ and implement them into systems.
