SQOD

On the period between 1 June (2010) and 31 May (2012), I have been leading the project Solid-state Quantum Optical Devices (SQOD) in the group of Prof. Jonathan Finley (head of the Nanostructure Photonics Group and scientist in charge) in the context of a European Union grant, a so-called Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) for Career Development, in the FP7--PEOPLE-2009-IEF call.

Main topics

1. Quantum nonlinearities (with Michael Schrapp & Arne Laucht).
2. Fluctuation-induced luminescence from QDs (with Vase Jovanov et al.)
3. Frequency correlations (with Elena del Valle et al.)
