This topic aims to explore phonon engineering of solid-state materials for
applications in quantum technologies. Solid-state materials like silicon,
silicon carbide, diamond, and a number of 2D materials have attracted
considerable interest within the quantum technology community, but quantum
technologies reliant on these materials often require cryogenic cooling to
maintain quantum coherence. For Air Force needs, cryogenic cooling severely
limits practical applications since the size, weight, and power requirements
are not amenable to air platforms. The objective of our lab is to understand
the phonon-induced dephasing dynamics in quantum systems and explore
strategies to engineer the phonon environment and mitigate dephasing of the
quantum system. Using both theory and modeling, as well as nanofabrication
of devices and characterization/testing, we hope to enable robust,
solid-state quantum technologies capable of being deployed in real-world
environments.
