Quantum Sensing and Information

The banner image shows a single-molecule quantum sensor on a scanning probe tip that can detect electric and magnetic fields with sub-atomic spatial resolution.

About

We use scanning probe microscopes (SPM) in combination with electron spin resonance (ESR) to fabricate and utilize artificial nanostructures with custom-designed quantum states on surfaces and scanning probe tips for atomic-scale quantum information, sensing, and simulation.

Research Topics

  • Coherent control of individual spins
  • Atomic-scale quantum sensing
  • Analog quantum simulation on surfaces
  • Millikelvin STM with magnetic cooling
