Quantum mechanics is undoubtedly going to play a dominant role in near-future technology. In this perspective, semiconductor nanostructures represent ideal systems where the electronic and optical properties can be controlled and engineered at the quantum level.
The research in the QUANTUM OPTO-ELECTRONICS THEORY GROUP at MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY is focused on the theoretical study of quantum optics and quantum electronics in semiconductor nanostructures.
Current areas of interest:
|
Optical processing of quantum information in quantum dots and diluted impurities
|
Coherent light-spin interaction
|
|
Quantum optical control in organic semiconductors
|
BEC of excitons and polaritons
