Quantum Information Science Faculty

Steve Harris: Professor of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics

Fundamentals of photonics and nonlinear optics

Mark Kasevich: Professor of Physics and Applied Physics

High accuracy navigation and gravimetric sensors based on de Broglie wave interferometry; Future atom optics sensors which exploit the novel coherence properties of Bose-Einstein condensates   

Jelena Vuckovic: Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering

Professor Vuckovic’s group performs experimental and theoretical research in nanoscale and quantum photonics. Particular areas of interest are photonic crystal devices and integration, solid state photonic quantum information technologies, and associated nanofabrication technology. Vuckovic’s group recently developed ultra-fast photonic crystal nanolasers with 100 GHz response, and quantum dot-photonic crystal cavity single photon sources for quantum cryptography. In collaboration with the Miller and Harris groups, Dr. Vuckovic’s group works on silicon-based lasers.

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.
