Sanjay BehuraDepartment of Physics, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA, USA _______________________________________ Spin defect-based quantum light sources hosted on the surface of the material in contrast to the defects buried within the bulk of the material is promising for quantum information science. Atom-thin van der Waals quantum materials are truly surfaces and they have…
Atac Imamoglu
Professor of Physics, ETH Zurich
Atac Imamoglu received his PhD in 1991 from Stanford University for his work on electromagnetically induced transparency. After an ITAMP postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University, he joined University of California, Santa Barbara as an assistant professor where he demonstrated the first solid-state single-photon source. In 2002, he moved to the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich, where he leads the Quantum Photonics group. His research focuses on quantum optics of two dimensional materials, with a strong emphasis on optical spectroscopy of strongly correlated electrons in van der Waals heterostructures.
