Coordinators of efforts in quantum sensing:
Research projects in quantum sensing
Mechanical resonators for quantum-enhanced sensing
The project explores two vastly different chip-based platforms with the goal to explore new regimes of displacement sensing of mechanical resonators, down to the quantum regime.
Principal investigator: Witlef Wieczorek, Chalmers
Postdoc: Mattias Rudolph, Chalmers
Circuit quantum electrodynamics with epitaxially defined quantum dots
The objective is to develop semi-conductor quantum dot systems where the interactions between spin, charge, photons and phonons can be engineered to construct hybrid quantum sensors and single-photon micro-wave detection capabilities.
Principal investigator: Ville Maisi, Lund University
Postdoc: Waqar Khan, Lund University
Development of instruments for deep tissue clinical imaging with molecular specificity The project investigates how quantum structures that reduce the speed of light to a few tens of km/s can be used for enabling optical imaging deep inside the human body.
Principal investigators: Johannes Swartling, SpectraCure AB and Stefan Kröll, Lund University
Industrial PhD student: David Hill, SpectraCure/Lund University
Quantum sensing with trapped Rydberg ions
The project studies trapped Rydberg ions for very sensitive electric and microwave field detection. Entangled Rydberg ion states have the potential to further enhance the measurement sensitivity.
Principal investigator: Markus Hennrich, Stockholm University
PhD student: Harry Parke, Stockholm University
Ultrafast quantum optics – extending quantum control towards the femto- and attosecond time scales
The aim of this project is to develop techniques for quantum control down to the extreme ultraviolet wavelength region and on the sub-femtosecond timescale using pulses generated by high-order harmonic generation or free electron lasers. The pulses will then be used to produce entangled two-electron wave packets.
Principal investigators: Johan Mauritsson and Anne L’Huillier, Lund University
PhD student: Anna Olofsson, Lund University
Cavity QED to image otherwise dark single molecules
The project aims at building a microscope able to detect dark transitions in molecules by micro-cavity Purcell enhancement.
Principal investigators: Ivan Scheblykin and Andreas Walther, Lund University
PhD student: Safi Rafie-Zinedine, Lund University
