Controlling Near- and Far-field Thermal Radiation with hBN Nanophotonics
Bo ZhaoUniversity of Houston – Houston, Texas, USA_______________________________________ Originated from random fluctuations, thermal radiation is typically incoherent, and its intensity is subject to the blackbody limit. Improving the coherence and intensity of thermal radiation is of great importance to photon-mediated energy and thermal systems. As a photonic material with hyperbolic isofrequency surfaces, hBN allows for…

Single carbon-related hBN spin defects for quantum networks and sensing
Hannah SternUniversity of Oxford – Oxford, England_______________________________________ Quantum networks and sensing require solid-state spin-photon interfaces that combine single-photon generation and long-lived spin coherence with scalable device integration, ideally at ambient conditions. Despite rapid progress reported across several candidate systems, those possessing quantum coherent single spins at room temperature remain extremely rare. In this talk, I…
