Research focus:
Research in my group explores the control over mechanical motion down to the quantum regime. We follow different physical approaches to pursue our research: coupling mechanical motion to light in so-called cavity optomechanical devices; using superconducting magnetic levitation to reach ultralow mechanical dissipation; and exploring embedded quantum emitters in two-dimensional materials.
Experimental techniques:
In-house microfabrication, device simulation, optical quantum control of mechanical motion, superconducting magnetic levitation, photoluminescence spectroscopy, Hanburry Brown and Twiss correlation experiment
Focus of future research:
- Non-classical light emission from 2D materials
- Spin-polarization coupling in single photon sources in 2D materials
- Interface between mechanical motion and photon emitters in 2D materials
