Scientific activity

We design, grow, and characterize rare earth doped crystals and color centers in diamond in which we aim at controlling optical and spin non-classical states. These materials, produced in the form of bulk and nanostructured single crystals, show extremely long-lived quantum states at low temperature. This unique property in the solid state enables us to address a broad range of applications, from quantum information processing and communication, to spectral analysis and medical imaging.
