The Coherent Spintronics Group is advancing the science and technology of quantum devices by developing innovative prototypes and quantum control methods essential for scalable Quantum Information Processing (QIP).
Their research leverages the quantum property of spin to robustly encode and manipulate quantum information. Spin-based quantum bits (qubits) in solid-state systems present a promising route toward scalable quantum devices, building on the expertise of the semiconductor electronics industry. This research also capitalizes on new material platforms such as superconductor-semiconductor hybrid systems, offering exciting opportunities for technological breakthroughs.
The group is spearheading a comprehensive research program to address the fundamental and technical challenges of building quantum devices. These efforts aim to deepen our understanding of quantum systems while creating new platforms for scientific discovery and technological innovation.
