Quantum science and engineering
Quantum mechanical entanglement is the fundamental resource driving the advancement of quantum technologies, including quantum computers, simulators, sensors, and networks. Our goal is to explore and scale entanglement across various physical systems—such as photons, semiconductors, and atoms—and to develop robust quantum systems and their practical applications.
Photonics
Devices and systems that utilize electromagnetic waves, particularly light, encompass a broad range of real-world applications. These include information communication, where photonics is essential, as well as medical instrumentation, imaging, sensing, and photovoltaic solar power generation.
