Nam Nguyen and Nadia Antoniadis both receive the QCQT Excellence Award 2023. Nam got it in recognition of his outstanding work in the publications “Enhanced Electron-Spin Coherence in a GaAs Quantum Emitter” published in PRL and  “Quantum interference of identical photons from remote GaAs quantum dots” published in Nat. Nanotechnol. Nadia got the price for her outstanding work in “Cavity-enhanced single-shot readout of a quantum dot spin within 3 nanoseconds” published in Nat. Commun. and “A chiral one-dimensional atom using a quantum dot in an open microcavity” published in npj Quantum Inf. Congratulations!!

Andrea Corazza receives two poster awards: the 2023 MRS Fall Meeting Best Poster Award and the EL14 Diamond Electronics, Devices and Sensors Best Poster Award 2023 for the poster “Diamond defects: a Gateway to Spin-Photon Interfaces”. Congratulations!

In our recent publication in Physical Review Letters, we increased the coherence of an electron spin in a GaAs quantum dot to over half a microsecond. This 150-fold improvement is achieved by using the interaction of electron spins and nuclear spins to cool the spin system. More information can be found on the SNI news.

Our latest results on ultra-fast cavity-enhanced single-shot readout of a quantum dot electron spin in 3 nanoseconds have been published in Nature Communications.

In our recent publication in Nature Physics, we directly observe a photon number dependent time-delay upon scattering of a laser pulse. This is a fingerprint of simulated emission at the level of a few photons. More information can be found in the Uni news.
