Compound Semiconductor Quantum Photonic Technology
Quantum photonic technology relies on generating and manipulating light, one photon at a time. At the Quantum lab In Cardiff we work on devices made from wide bandgap compound semiconductors such as Gallium Nitride, two dimensional (2D) layered materials and self-assembled Indium Arsenide quantum dots.
Translational Research Hub
Our research group is based at Cardiff University’s newly built state-of-the-art Translational Research Hub. Celebrated as one of Cardiff University’s biggest campus upgrades, the Hub offers bespoke laboratories, shared collaborative scientific spaces and a state of the art, specialist compound semiconductor cleanroom.
Our international partnerships provide researchers and students with exciting opportunities to complete secondments overseas and experience new areas of work.
