Quantum Optics - Precision Measurement - Nanophotonics
Research Overview
The world of quantum mechanics holds enormous potential to address unsolved problems in communications, computation, precision measurements, and machine learning/AI. The QP-Group pursues experimental and theoretical research towards machine learning hardware and critical quantum technologies (computing, networking, sensing) by precision control of photons and atomic systems, combining techniques from atomic physics, optoelectronics, and modern semiconductor devices.
The QP-Group at MIT is led by Professor Dirk Englund together with research scientists Dr Ryan Hamerly, Dr Matt Trusheim, Dr Franco Wong, and Dr. Avinash Kumar.
Key words: quantum physics, EE, CS; full-stack system design and theory; machine learning accelerators; nanofabrication; integrated circuit foundries; photonic circuit foundries; entrepreneurship.
