Project funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF-International Postdoc), grant 7026-00059A. Runs n/a to 2020-03-31. Keywords: Nanophotonics, Quantum dots, Photonic crystals, Quantum optics, Quantum computing.

Abstract given by the source: Kvanteswitche er essentielle komponenter i kvantenetværk, kvantecomputere, kvantekommunikation og metrologi. I dette projekt ønsker jeg at udforske en ny type switch som realiseres i en halvlederchip med nanofotoniske strukturer. Ideen bag den nye komponent er at kombinere egenskaberne ved kvantepunkter, ofte kaldet kunstige atomer, og Fano resonanser. Jeg vil arbejde i Prof. Eli Kapon’s gruppe ved Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL). Prof. Kapon er internationalt ledende indenfor fabrikation og eksperimentel udforskning af positions-kontrollerede kvantepunkter. Vi vil designe og fabrikere nye optiske kvanteswitche baseret på koblede bølgeledere og nanokaviteter og målet er at demonstrere hurtig (10-20 picosekunder) og effektiv switching i et sådant nanofotonisk system. Dette er meget ambitiøst, men ville også være et reelt gennembrud. Samtidigt ønsker vi at forstå de fundamentale fysiske begrænsninger af den foreslåede struktur samt at undersøge andre anvendelser, f.eks. til routing og generering af entanglement.
