RESEARCH
Quantum polaritons offer a versatile platform for introducing strong, tunable interactions into integrated photonic systems. These interactions are central to nonlinear and quantum photonic technologies. Our program links fundamental studies of polariton physics with the development of manufacturable devices and circuit architectures.
RESEARCH AREA
We investigate the optical and electronic properties of emerging quantum materials, including moiré heterostructures that host moiré excitons.
RESEARCH AREA
We couple excitons to optical microcavities to study spin selectivity, electrical control and emergent polariton properties. Our work aims to reach the few-quantum regime.
RESEARCH AREA
We use the photonic component of polaritons to enhance interactions, guide optical states and integrate polaritonic elements on a chip.
RESEARCH AREA
We combine physics-informed machine learning, inverse design and closed-loop optimization to design and refine polaritonic lattices. Our work ranges from selecting materials and cavities to designing integrated devices. We also explore the potential of polaritonic systems for energy-efficient computing.
METHODS
We assemble low-dimensional quantum materials and van der Waals heterostructures to investigate excitons and correlated quantum phases.
We develop micro- and nanofabrication methods and heterogeneous integration strategies for optical microcavities, photonic crystals and polaritonic devices on a chip.
We combine angle-, polarization-, time- and spatially resolved spectroscopy to map energy, momentum, spin and dynamics.
We use theoretical models and numerical simulations to study strong coupling, nonlinearities, many-body interactions and nonequilibrium dynamics.
We use physics-informed learning, inverse design and iterative experiments to jointly refine materials, structures and experimental parameters.
