PHOTONIC POINTS WITH TWO-DIMENSIONAL SEMICONDUCTORS

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Valencia Province (NUTS ES523); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 145,200; EU co-financing EUR 72,600 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2019-12-16 to 2022-12-15. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION HAS CONSOLIDATED ITS SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF QUANTUM-BASED TECHNOLOGIES AND INITIATIVES WITH THE FET FLAGSHIP ON QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES, BRINGING TRANSFORMATIVE ADVANCES TO SCIENCE, INDUSTRY AND SOCIETY. THE 2D-SPD PROJECT IS AN ENTIRELY EXPERIMENTAL, MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH PROJECT, AND IS RELATED TO FIELDS SUCH AS QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES, NANOTECHNOLOGY, NANO-PHOTONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO UNDERSTAND AND DEMONSTRATE NEW CUTTING-EDGE QUANTUM POLARITONICS EXPERIMENTS WITH NEW 2D MATERIAL SYSTEMS AND MICRO/NANO-CAVITIES APPROACHES. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS OBJECTIVE, THREE DIFFERENT RESEARCH STRATEGIES ARE PROPOSED: I) STUDY QUANTUM POLARITON LIGHT EMISSION USING NEW 2D SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS WITH ENHANCED LIGHT-MATTER INTERACTION AND SMALL MODE VOLUME 2D PHOTONIC NANO-CAVITIES; II) STUDY ENHANCED SINGLE PHOTON FEATURES EXPLOITING PHOTONIC INTERFERENCE MECHANISMS; III) USE NEW FIBRE-BASED TOOLS FOR QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS SPECTROSCOPY. TO ACCOMPLISH THESE OBJECTIVES THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED AS A MULTI-CENTRE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THREE MAIN INSTITUTIONS: THE HOST INSTITUTION, THE OPTOELECTRONIC MATERIALS AND DEVICES (UMDO) GROUP LED BY PROF. JUAN MARTINEZ PASTOR AT THE UNIVERSIDAD DE VALENCIA (SPAIN), AND TWO PARTNER INSTITUTIONS, THE QUANTUM MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS GROUP (QMAPP) LED BY DR. THOMAS VOLZ AT MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY (SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA) AND CALSENS S.L., A FIBRE OPTICS TECHNOLOGY COMPANY IN VALENCIA (SPAIN). QUANTUM POLARITONICS IS AN EMERGING FIELD THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ADD A NUMBER OF FEATURES TO THE STANDARD QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES TOOLBOX. THE SUCCESS OF THESE RESEARCH STRATEGIES WILL PROVIDE POLARITON-BASED QUANTUM DEVICES IN THE FUTURE, LIKE POLARITON-BASED HIGH REPETITION RATE SINGLE-PHOTON EMITTERS, FOCK STATE OPTICAL SWITCHERS AND ALL-OPTICAL QUANTUM GATES, OR LIGHT-BASED 2D DRIVEN DISSIPATIVE QUANTUM SIMULATORS.
