A versatile quantum playground with solid-state quantum emitters

When
-

Abstract: Solid-state quantum emitters have attracted much attention as an integrated source of photonic and spin qubits, which are basic elements for a range of quantum applications. Recent advances in the generation, manipulation, and integration of these emitters have demonstrated a variety of quantum resources: bright quantum light sources, quantum memories, and spin-photon interfaces. In particular, controllable quantum emitters in photonic cavities or waveguides enable scalable quantum interactions between multiple photons and emitters.

Complex and Heterogeneous Biophysical Systems Studied with 2DIR

Abstract: I will present three projects. In the first two, we used two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy to study properties of some complex peptide and protein assemblies 1: Proline-arginine (PR) dipeptide repeats are an example of a growing number of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) known to assemble into membrane-less organelles by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), and has also been implicated in the disease mechanism of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Heralded Spectroscopy - a new probe for nanocrystal multiexciton photophysics

Abstract:

Emitters of quantum light are at the core of quantum optic science and a key resource for emerging classical and quantum technologies. Yet, to date, the tools available to study multiple-photon quantum light sources, specifically temporally and spectrally in parallel, have been limited. A prominent example is multiply-excited semiconductor quantum dots - an intriguing system that features rich physics and technological potential but lacks direct observation techniques.
