Here in the Semiconductor Photonics and Quantum Technologies, we have a wide range of research directions, all conducting research at the cutting edge of their field.

Our research explores hybrid light–matter states that emerge under strong coupling between excitons (bound electron–hole pairs) and photons in semiconductor nanostructures. These quasiparticles, known as exciton polaritons, combine the long coherence and high mobility of light with the strong interactions of matter, forming a versatile platform for nonlinear and quantum photonics.
Light-matter interactions on nano-scale dimensions. We are interested in two different aspects of the subject: the interaction of light with nano-structures, and the confinement of light in nano-scale cavities.
We research new properties of two-dimensional chalcogenides (sulfides, selenides, and tellurides) such as MoS2, MoSe2, WSe2, WS2, NbSe2, Gallium and Indium chalcogenides and others.
Quantum information processing promises a fundamentally more powerful way of computation and communication than traditional classical information processing.
