We are experimentally investigating InAs quantum dots and defects in SiC for quantum information science and technology. Opportunities are available to develop these material systems and the tools for controlling them for applications in sensing, computing, and communication. Research teams at NRL in this area have expertise in growth; fabrication of electrical, photonic, and mechanical devices; optical spectroscopy at the single quantum system level; and theory. Topics of current interest include quantum sensing of mechanical motion, single and entangled photon sources, quantum networks, and spin physics.
