Funded Activity Summary
Ultra-low temperature facility for optical experiments. Ultra-low temperature facility for optical experiments: The project aims to establish a state-of-the-art facility to conduct optics and photonics experiments at ultra-low temperatures, by integrating an optical-access cryogen-free dilution refrigerator into an optics laboratory. Near absolute zero temperature, complex materials and engineered nanoscale devices exhibit striking quantum mechanical behaviour. Experimental access to photonics at millikelvin temperatures would enable a coherent quantum-mechanical interface between spins, charges, phonons and photons. This unique facility may help in designing the next generation of information, communication and metrology devices, such as quantum computers, single-photon sources and detectors, and nanoscale quantum-enhanced sensors.Funded Activity Details
