Electron Quantum Optics
Developing coherent electronic platforms that connect mobile electrons, quantum materials, and superconducting circuits.
We are developing a platform in which single electrons, rather than photons, serve as the flying quanta that mediate coherent interactions. Using on-demand electron sources, engineered one-dimensional waveguides, and quantum Hall edge channels, we aim to build the electronic analog of waveguide QED.
This platform enables:
- coherent electron–matter interactions with tunable coupling;
- single-electron interferometry and quantum-optical control; and
- hybrid networks linking electrons, spins, and superconducting qubits.
Electron quantum optics opens a path toward quantum simulation and entanglement generation using mobile, strongly interacting electronic excitations.
