Welcome to the Quantum Nanophotonics (QNP) Group in the Physics department at Adelaide University.
We work at the interface of condensed matter—aka solid-state physics, and quantum optics.
What Does This Mean?
We focus on quantum optics and quantum photonics experiments based on nanostructures. These nanostructures are made from semiconductor materials—often artificially structured “quantum” materials. The optics experiments include low-temperature optical spectroscopy of quantum nanostructures, making and testing semiconductor lasers, and making quantum lights sources. And finally, we use these quantum devices in simple, proof-of-principle system.
