Quantum Information and Nanoscale Metrology
My research group focusses on the following broad areas:
- Solid-state quantum networks
- Nanoscale quantum sensors
- Energy-efficient novel quantum devices
You can find more about our research here: group page.
In the Maxwell Centre context we focus on investigating materials and solutions for the future energy efficient ICT and computing.
Academic Biography
I received my B.S. from Bilkent University Physics Department in Turkey. Then, I joined Quantum Imaging Laboratory at Boston University for graduate studies under the supervision of Profs. Sergienko, Saleh and Teich. During my PhD I worked on multiparameter entanglement and quantum interference using spontaneous parametric down-conversion. In 2002, I switched my research interests to quantum optics with semiconductor systems. Until 2007, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow (and later Oberassistent) with Prof. Atac Imamoglu in the Quantum Photonics Group at ETH Zurich. I joined the Cavendish Laboratory in 2007 as a Lecturer and became a professor in 2015.
