Project description
Third-cycle subject: Physics, specialization optics and photonics
Quantum nanophotonics offers new possibilities for quantum communication and sensing. In this project, new devices will be developed to demonstrate single photon detection with new performances and integrated on-chip to realize large/scale integrated quantum circuits, demonstrate detection in the mid infrared and achieve high time resolution. The devices will be implemented in quantum sensing experiments where the quantum states of light will enable measurements beyond the classical limit with particular interest in lidar and bio medical measurements. This project combines nanofabrication of quantum devices in a clean room environment with quantum optics experiments and requires intense work in nanofabrication.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by: Professor Val Zwiller.
