Superpositions

Welcome to quantumengineer.org! I will post new developments at the US Naval Academy Quantum Photonics Laboratory. We are an undergraduate-only research group looking into the foundations of quantum mechanics, solid-state optical systems and quantum sensors. All views here are my own and do not reflect those of the US Naval Academy, US Navy or Department of Defense.

Effects of annealing on silicon vacancy brightness

Recently, working with Johns Hopkins APL, we started looking at the effects of annealing and quenching on the relative brightness of the...

New paper out in Solid State Communications

We just released results on high-defect density Si vacancies created through proton implantation! Check it out We find a reduction by a...

Diamond spin results

First optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) results from the Navy Quantum Lab! An isotopically purified sample of diamond...

Magneto-optics

The lab continues to expand. This summer, we installed a room temperature magneto optical system capable of measure defects both in...

Coherence of silicon vacancies as function of implantation depth

Newest paper on the arxiv here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.10432

Quantum biology

Quantum theory is a pinnacle of human achievement. With it, physicists were able to empirically explain the behavior of quantum systems...

Confocal awesomeness

Some images of the summer's activities...a new microscope (with 532nm and 730nm tuneable excitation)

A quantum life

Quantum information processing and computing has rapidly moved into the mainstream; even the new prime minister of Canada can passably...
