Development of novel quantum vacuum-based electronic devices platform and enabling its microfabrication methods._x000d_ _x000d_ _x000d_
FY 2020-21
Summary
Quantum materials (QMs) are a hotbed for ground-breaking research. When combined with engineered structures such as resonant nanocavities, coupled light-matter states with highly novel properties result which can be engineered to create new and unique technologies. The control of these coupled hybrid states has demonstrated a high potential for applications in quantum information as well as in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, sensors, photon sources, and even vacuum induced chemistry. Our industrial partner, Infinite Potential Laboratories is poised to take advantage of the latest progress in quantum fabrication science, in particular to develop new technologies for vacuum-based applications in quantum information processing (QIP).
The goal of this partnership between UdeS researchers and IPL is to develop an innovative quantum vacuum-based electronic platform to confirm and characterize the QIP in strongly coupled light-matter systems. The objectives of this Alliance project are: i) develop the expertise to fabricate novel nano structures that enable strong coupling and control of QM surfaces in nanocavities; ii) demonstrate proof of concept devices based on these novel strongly coupled light-matter structures that will pave the way to practical quantum systems.
The nanofabrication processes developed in the project will be a particularly beneficial for: i) the emerging fields of nanoplasmonics, quantum chemical processing and catalysis; ii) QIP through a quantum control device; iii) the Canadian quantum community at large by providing a unique infrastructure to study ultrafast dynamic hybridized states of matter.
