Key Areas of Research

• Quantum technology

We are investigating the quantum technology application with the electron spins and photons as qubits. Especially, electron spins in color centers of wide bandgap material can hold long spin coherence time. They are promising candidates for quantum sensing and stationary qubits for quantum communications. Photons act as flying qubits in quantum network and are promising candidates for on-chip integrated photonics quantum computation.

• Quantum material investigation

We are exploring different candidate for quantum materials such as systems for single photon emitters and 2D material excitons. They can carry different degrees of freedom such as charge, spin or valleys. In our research, we explore their interaction with optical and electric field.
