Meeting Support for the 2018 OSA Defects by Design: Quantum Nanophotonics in Emerging Materials Incubator, 28-30 October, 2018
Abstract
The grant support for the 2018 OSA Defects by Design: Quantum Nanophotonics in Emerging Materials Incubator will help establish new directions for research with optically-active semiconductor defects that take advantage of the unique properties afforded by emerging materials. Building on recent success in harnessing select defects like the diamond nitrogen-vacancy center for diverse applications in quantum information processing, quantum optics, nanophotonics, magnetometry, and biosensing, an opportunity exists to identify analogous systems in new materials that are optimized to improve the performance of applications like these, or that can enable entirely new avenues of research. The program will be held in Washington, DC and will bring together experimental, computational, and theoretical scientists to discuss the future of quantum engineering with optically-active semiconductor defects. Through a combination of invited presentations and moderated group discussions, participants will discuss recent progress in identifying and controlling new defect systems, address key challenges facing the field, and propose solutions to overcome current limits and open new research areas. The meeting is designed to maximize formal and informal discussions and provide networking time for the participants. The aim of this meeting is to kickstart discussions between experts in related but often non-intersecting communities that will advance materials, theory, and instrumentation to realize new quantum-coherent systems with unprecedented functionality. The Hosts hope to identify new directions for research with optically-active semiconductor defects that take advantage of the unique properties afforded by emerging materials. The program will work to accomplish this by facilitating a survey of the existing field and identifying recommendations for the most fruitful and relevant research directions that could lead to real-world applications.
