Seminar: Yves Rezus
It is a true pleasure to invite you to a seminar with our guest researchers Yves Rezus. Yves is spending this academic year on sabbatical and has chosen to come to us!
Do come and listen!
Abstract:
Encounters with single-quantum emitters
Yves Rezus
Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS)
Single-quantum emitters are the smallest possible light sources. They consist of trapped atoms, molecules or engineered nanostructures, which emit one photon at a time. Research in single-quantum emitters has taken an enormous surge in the past few decades, leading to applications ranging from biological imaging to quantum computing.
In this talk I will give an experimental perspective on single-quantum emitters, focusing on what it takes to observe them in the laboratory and to exploit their properties in real-world applications. Along the way we will see what single-quantum emitters can teach us about fundamental quantum mechanics.
