Quantum Light-Matter Hybrids via Spatially Designed Photons

Current technological demands for faster, more efficient devices make it imperative to discover novel ways to design and functionalize materials. This project rethinks material design by mixing light and matter at the quantum level. We will develop the theoretical tools to simulate realistic, tunable and responsive light-matter systems, guiding the transition from conceptual to practical applications at the interface of electronics and photonics. The grant will fund one PhD student and two postdocs.
