Nanoscale Advanced Materials Engineering for Quantum Technologies
The ability to engineer the electrical, optical and magnetic properties of advanced materials on the nanoscale is of increasing importance to the development of future technologies. One approach to achieving this is through impurity doping, with increased control over the spatial resolution and isotopic purity enabled by the development of dedicated tools. In this talk the 'P-NAME' tool will be described, and the underlying principle surrounding its application for the development of doped systems for quantum technologies including qubits presented. The application of this unique facility to perform isotopic enrichment of host materials, the deterministic (i.e. non-poissonian) delivery of isotopically-selected ion species for active quantum objects, and the potential to scale the technology to enable large-scale arrays will be discussed.
Brief bio: Professor Richard Curry is Vice-Dean for Research and Innovation at the University of Manchester. His research interests are based around the study and development of advanced material systems for photonic and electronic devices, and specifically the development of doped solid-state materials for quantum technologies. He leads the ~£10M EPSRC Programme Grant Nanoscale Advanced Materials Engineering (www.name-pg.uk), is co-lead of the UK EPSRC Materials for Quantum Network (https://m4qn.org), and is a Research Area Lead for the Henry Royce Institute (www.royce.ac.uk), the UK's National Institute for Advanced Materials.
