Experiment

We are an experimental group working both on cold atoms and photonic quantum gases.

Most of our research projects are centered around the development of new spectroscopic methods and applications of these techniques, often in collaboration with other groups. Within this field, we emphasize high resolution laser spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance, and the combination of these techniques.

Our group is exploring applications of optical microcavities in the fields of solid state quantum optics, optical sensing, microscopy, spectroscopy, and optomechanics.
One of the central goals is to enhance light-matter interactions to realize efficient light-matter interfaces at the single quantum level, and to enable novel schemes for spectroscopy and sensing. We employ and further develop fiber-based Fabry-Perot microcavities, which combine microscopic mode volumes with exceptionally high quality factors, and at the same time offer open access for a variety of samples.

The integrated quantum technology group of Prof. Dr. Carsten Schuck is based at the Center for Nanotechnology (CeNTech) on the campus of the University of Münster (Germany). Research activities include the integration of quantum emitters and single-photon detectors with nanophotonic circuitry on silicon chips. The group makes use of a large variety of advanced nano-fabrication techniques, computer-aided design of nanophotonic devices and state-of-the-art measurement capabilities for realizing quantum optics experiments on a scalable platform.

We are a research group from Griffith University working on the development of quantum technologies using integrated optics and trapped ions. We are part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology.
Our labs include a fabrication facility for the production of waveguides in lithium niobate and the first chip trap with integrated mirrors

We are walking the fine line between quantum optics and condensed matter physics, with the aim of employing ideas and algorithms from the forefront of quantum information theory to our sensor, an atom-sized defect in diamond. This defect, known also as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center, has several unique properties, making it an exceptional solid state, single-spin system.

We generate nonclassical (quantum) light from quantum dots, nonlinear crystals, photonic-crystal fibres.

We test this light for photon-number correlations and squeezing.

We use this light for quantum information and photonic technologies.
