Quantum technologies promise efficient and secure information processing, but achieving coherence and entanglement at scale remains challenging. This project explores spin transport in industrially relevant atomically thin 2D semiconductors, focusing on developing optimised devices to enhance coherence, reduce power consumption, and enable ultra-fast operation for practical and sustainable quantum hardware.
Reliable batteries, surpassing the energy storage capacity of the state of the art, are needed for critical applications such as communications systems for national security. This project aims to make them a reality by combining solid and liquid or gel materials to form quasi-solid materials with versatile chemistry and mechanical robustness.
The aim of this project is to explore new frontiers in the design of photonics integrated circuits (PICs) by using artificial intelligence (AI). The project has potential to revolutionise chip design and manufacturing processes by reduction of circuit footprint, optimisation of various elements and devices and their integration, and enabling more efficient packaging. It can play a crucial role in shaping the future of PICs and their implementation in various applications.
