Quantum Technologies

The “Integration and manipulation of quantum emitters” is one of the main research goals in the group of Jun.-Prof. C. Schuck. Nanophotonic devices are realized in a variety of material systems, including III-nitrides- and silicon-on-insulator, by using advanced nanofabrication and computer aided design techniques. The group’s efforts are geared towards developing a versatile photonic integrated quantum technology platform on which quantum information processing, quantum communication and quantum sensing functionality can be realized. The building blocks of such platform consist of waveguide integrated single photon sources, nanophotonic circuit components and superconducting nanowire single photon detectors.
