Laboratory for Advanced Nano-photonics and Quantum Materials

The laboratory's research and developments in advanced nano-photonics will include:

• The application of machine learning technologies for forecasting modelling of new optical materials with specified properties (programmable nano-photonics) and the application of for the optimisation of nano-photonic devices;
• The development of a technology for the creation of artificial intelligence systems (neural interfaces based on two-dimensional materials for cybernetic organisms);
• The study of optical properties of new two-dimensional materials, van der Waals heterostructures and programmable materials based on van der Waals heterostructures;
• Developments in the field of post-silicon optoelectronics and photonics – thin-film flexible sensors, radio-frequency tags and identifiers, transparent displays;
• The creation of fast optoelectronic devices (the integration of two-dimensional materials with silicon photonics devices for optical signal processing), photodetectors, optical modulators, compact radiation sources, high-frequency wireless communications (6G, THz Wi-Fi);
• The development of truly single-photon sources for quantum-protected communication lines, including those based on new two-dimensional materials;
• The creation of highly efficient photoelectric converters based on two-dimensional materials, van der Waals heterostructures, and perovskites.
