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
