Abstract:
A
“second
quantum
revolution”
is
taking
place
that
aims
to
harness
the
laws
of
quantum
mechanics
for
technological
gains
in
computing,
communication
and
sensing.
My
group
designs,
fabricates
and
experiments
with
nano-electronic
devices
that
serve
as
platforms
for
manipulating
quantum
states.
In
the
computing
realm,
we
have
proposed
a
scalable
architecture
for
a
fault-tolerant
quantum
computer
in
silicon
and
are
working
experimentally
to
demonstrate
the
key
components.
In
sensing,
we
are
exploring
ultra-sensitive
force
detection
using
a
carbon
nanotube
electro-mechanical
resonator,
attempting
to
detect
magnetic
states
of
single
molecules.
In
communication,
we
are
developing
an
electrically-driven,
on-demand
source
of
photon
singles
or
pairs
with
faster
emission
rates
than
are
currently
possible.
In
the
area
of
quantum
materials,
low-temperature
scanning
tunneling
microscopy
experiments
were
performed
on
a
2D
material,
1T-TaS2,
that
exhibits
electrically
or
thermally
driven
charge
density
wave
transitions.
These
transitions
reveal
exotic
electronic
states
that
could
be
exploited
for
memristive
applications
or
unconventional
superconductivity
(in
collaboration
with
the
Tsen
group).
