Research Applications

Our research activity opens up a new area in the quantum physics of condensed matter with the possibility of generating non-Abelian states that could be used for quantum computing. 

1. Quantum Computation and Communication research and technology utilises the rich physics in low-dimensional systems (2D systems, quantum dots and quantum wires). Our activities heavily focus on creating such devices in GaAs-based systems and tuning their behaviour to explore the rich physics they offer.

2. Field effect transistors and various nanoscale systems aim to control electrons in confined spaces for information processing. We experimentally investigate the physics of two-dimensional electron gas-based systems. Such systems achieve higher mobility and carrier concentrations simultaneously. 

3. Spintronics technologies use the electron spin as another degree of freedom for processing and storing information.  Our group investigates spin-related effects in low-dimensional electronic transport systems. 

4. Optical signal processing and quantum cryptography technologies utilise quantum dots. Our research aims to bring new insights into quantum-dot-based technologies by investigating their behaviour through electrostatically defining and controlling their structure. 

Nanoscale and quantum technologies constantly require new insights into experimental techniques and quantum behaviour. Our investigations of relevant physics under various geometries and controlled conditions can bring new perspectives regarding the research and developments of the broader field.
