Materials for Quantum Technologies
Materials For Quantum Technologies
The laboratory is dedicated to the development of epitaxial semiconductor nanostructures and materials for quantum technology devices:
Targeted devices:
Deterministic Photon Emitters (for Quantum Information applications)
Quantum Dot Infrared photodetectors (QDIP) (for Earth Observation from space)
Quantum Well Red LED (for microdisplays and lightning)
It operates in two sites:
Dipartimento di Scienza dei Materiali, Via Cozzi 55, 2016 Milano (Italy)
L-NESS, Via Anzani 42, 22100 Como (Italy)
Hardware:
Two Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) growth chambers (Arsenides and Nitrides)
Atomic Force Microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, clean room and lithographic apparata (@L-NESS)
Laboratory KETs
