About this position

[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]

  • Background of the recruitment and description of the project

Quantum technologies are expected to make important developments in various fields of engineering including computing, sensing, metrology, and communication. Since quantum effects become more evident and more robust as the system scales down, devices with atomically precise elements could provide a route for quantum technologies operating at elevated temperatures. Our research focuses on the optical properties of nanomaterials and the physics of nanoscale photonic devices, investigating new approaches for utilizing their quantum properties.

By engineering atomically defined nanostructures and integrating them into nanoscale devices, we explore novel concepts in photonics for future quantum technologies.
