We are an experimental research group located at the University of Cambridge, Cavendish Laboratory. Our primary focus area is Spin-Based Quantum Information Science and Nanoscale Quantum Metrology. For this purpose we are interested in the study and control of spins confined in mesoscopic quantum systems, as well as the interface of spin and photon states. The physical systems we are investigating range from self-assembled quantum dots and diamond-based emitters for coherent control of spin states to metal-dielectric hybrid nanostructures for efficient and tailored light-matter interaction.
