Chip scale integrated quantum platform
Abstract
The goal of this research proposal is to develop a chip scale integrated quantum platform bringing together advanced nanoscale photonic devices with atomic vapor cells for the purpose of generating ultra-compact and highly efficient frequency references and atomic clocks on a chip. Our approach allows to confine and guide light at the subwavelength scale, while interacting with the atomic vapor around it. By doing so, one can drastically enhance the interaction of light with the vapor, and obtain extreme integration, allowing the implementation of systems with significantly smaller footprint, alongside with orders of magnitude lower electrical power consumption and orders of magnitude lower optical power levels. The successful implementation of the research results should pave the way for high- end frequency references and atomic clock devices. The project will be headed by Prof. Uriel Levy, the head of the nano-opto group at the applied physics department and the director of the center for nanoscience and nanotechnology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, with Dr. Liron Stern who is also affiliated with the applied physics department and the center for nanoscience and nanotechnology at the Hebrew University serving as the Co-PI.
