Baugh Research Lab https://uwaterloo.ca/baugh-research-lab/ en Prof. Baugh and collaborators awarded a total of $3.17 million in funding for two Alliance Quantum grants from NSERC https://uwaterloo.ca/baugh-research-lab/blog/prof-baugh-and-collaborators-awarded-total-317-million <p>The project <em>Next-generation photonic source to enable quantum remote sensing and communications</em> will use cutting-edge semiconductor device engineering to develop novel, on-demand sources of single photons. These sources will have unique capabilities, such as tunability between one- and two-photon emission, and can be scaled to on-chip arrays. This project also includes Baugh’s co-PIs Dr. Michael Reimer, faculty member at IQC and professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; Dr.</p> Tue, 19 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Jonathan Baugh https://uwaterloo.ca/baugh-research-lab/blog/prof-baugh-and-collaborators-awarded-total-317-million Newly minted PhD - Emma (Annelise) Bergeron! https://uwaterloo.ca/baugh-research-lab/blog/newly-minted-phd-emma-annelise-bergeron <div class="uw-media media media--type-uw-mt-image media--view-mode-uw-vm-standard-image align-right" data-height="290" data-width="250"> <img src="/baugh-research-lab/sites/default/files/uploads/images/screenshot-2024-02-01-091518_1.png" width="250" height="290" alt="Anneliese Bergeron" loading="lazy" typeof="Image" /><div class="uw-field uw-field--name-field-uw-image-caption uw-field--type-string-long uw-field--label-hidden uw-field__items"> <div class="uw-field__item"> From left, Francois Sfigakis, Annelise Bergeron,</div></div></div> Thu, 01 Feb 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Jonathan Baugh https://uwaterloo.ca/baugh-research-lab/blog/newly-minted-phd-emma-annelise-bergeron Open graduate student positions https://uwaterloo.ca/baugh-research-lab/blog/open-graduate-student-positions <p>We have several openings for Masters and PhD students to begin in Fall 2024.
