Faculty Spotlight
Yoshihisa Yamamoto: Professor of Electrical Engineering
Professor Yamamoto’s group performs research on fundamental optoelectronic physics, structures, and devices. Particular areas of interest are quantum optics, semiconductor mesoscopic physics, nuclear and electron spin resonance, with emphasis on quantum information system applications. Yamamoto’s group conducts research on the theoretical and experimental aspects of single-photon, entanglement-based and differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution for quantum cryptography and studies quantum information processing with photons and spins in solid state materials.

Lessons from Scotland on Stem Cell Research
April 6, 2009
The Stanford-Scotland Photonics Innovation Collaboration Science Bridge came as a result of a £1.6 million award to Stanford University from the UK Research Councils. Stanford and Scottish universities have been working together for over 30 years, and this new funding will help develop advanced imaging technologies for the life sciences; it's a powerful transatlantic partnership that defies national boundaries and shares a commitment by all sides to success.
