Diamond Micro-crystals
QuCenDiEM from phenomenology to technology
The Quantum Centers in Diamond and Emergent Materials (QuCenDiEM) is a unique workgroup centered on researching and exploiting “quantum science for technology as well as technology for quantum science.” We are a workgroup focused on this reciprocal and symbiotic relationship. We envision and structure our research in four interrelated streams - diamond for quantum technologies, quantum technologies through diamond, emergent quantum materials and quantum x-ray photonics.
We bring together diverse skills working towards advancing quantum science and technology: controlled high-quality, high-purity diamond growth required for quantum technologies, quantum defects in solid-state systems, superconductivity in thin films and low-dimensional structures, emergent quantum phenomena, large-scale computations of spin-based systems, and quantum photonics from infrared to xray.
Our expertise towards implementing and realizing these goals includes diamond growth and structuring, low-temperature mK and micro-K physics , superconductivity, SQUID, atom-probe and advanced microscopy, optical domain magnetic resonance (ODMR) measurements, NV centers and magnetometry, inelastic neutron scattering - experiments and theory, large-scale computations, photonic structures, photonics with table-top femtosecond pulses, synchrotrons and x ray free-electron lasers. On a single platform, QuCenDiEM brings together explorations and realizations in science and technology with Quantum materials, physics, systems and technologies, ranging from doped diamond to quantum spin liquids and topological superconductors.
Research Highlights
Our research focuses on and leverages a holistic approach to the realization quantum science and technologies encompassing key aspects from quantum materials to devices.
Advances in growth techniques, defect engineering and technology related to quantum materials aided by insights from computational physics have led to availability of families of condensed matter systems where quantum effects are dominant and can be controlled and manipulated towards realizing applications.
