Measuring interactions between chiral edge states. 2D heterostructure (left); magnetoresistance data (right).

Quantum Transport Measurements

Ongoing
It is necessary to isolate, control, and understand the fundamental physics of exotic states of matter to create nanoengineered systems with the requisite quantum properties for quantum information systems and advanced computing applications. We develop measurement capabilities and design test

Quantum Communications and Networks

Ongoing
Key Components of Quantum Repeaters and Quantum Network Systems Single Photon Sources: An ideal single photon entangled pair source for a quantum repeater application should satisfy several conditions simultaneously. Since photons must interact efficiently with a quantum memory, the source must emit
