James H. EdgarKansas State University – Lawrence, Kansas, USA_______________________________________ Neutron irradiation has potential advantages for creating boron vacancies in hexagonal boron nitride for quantum sensing applications. The boron-10 isotope has one of the strongest interactions with thermal neutrons of any isotope of any element, roughly 3750 barns, compared to 1-2 barns for the isotopes of…
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.
