Ultrafast Nanoelectronics and Quantum Technologies at THz frequencies
We are a research group at the University of Glasgow working on ultrafast quantum nanoelectronics and quantum technologies at terahertz (THz) frequencies. We study and control electrons in quantum nanoelectronic devices on picosecond time scales, and build the room-temperature and cryogenic-compatible THz electronics that makes it possible. In our group, we take a holistic device integration approach, where Quantum Nanoelectronic Devices are integrated alongside high-frequency THz sources, detectors and other components. We have an excellent nanofabrication facility and a state-of-the-art lab to support these activities.
