  2. Quantum & Nanophotonic MaterialsGrand challenges • Materials for new quantum technologies • Development of novel materials for new quantum technologies • Functional nanophotonic materials • Controlling the optical properties of materials structured on the nanoscale • Realisation of potential in applications in biomedicine, energy, computing and communication

  3. Quantum & Nanophotonic MaterialsExample Projects • Placement of single atoms into nano-scaled electronic devices • deterministic doping of single atoms in silicon • Quantum computing • ‘single electron reader’ for large-scale quantum computer amenable to mass-production • Quantum sensing • nanoscalebiomagnetometry in living cells • The Quantum Dot ‘Spaser’ • combining nanosized metallic structures with colloidal quantum dots • Optical antennas • nanoscalemanipulation of light • Overlap with other themes (and institutes)
