Our mission is to predict and measure how light and matter interact on a scale hidden to most: shorter than a single wavelength of light.
By understanding and controlling these subwavelength properties of light and matter, it is possible to unlock powerful new applications across quantum sensing, communication, biophotonics and metrology.
Research
Understanding how quantum mechanics influences light-matter interactions on the shortest scales.
Developing approaches which can simultaneously access the very fast and the very small.
Building devices which interact with light from the bottom up.
