Our cell filling station is a controlled setup used to fill glass cells with alkali metals and buffer gases under vacuum conditions. These cells are crucial for quantum sensors like atomic clocks, magnetometers, and optical gyroscopes, where they enable precise interaction between atoms and laser light.

Infrared Imaging uses induced coherence between infrared and visible light to take an infrared photograph without the need for cryogenically cooled photodetectors.

Closed-cycle cryostats provide a low temperature environment ideal for quantum experiments. These platforms enable research with erbium-doped crystals, which are key for developing quantum memory applications.

A heated nano-probe tip that can directly sublimate thermally sensitive resist to create patterns. It is possible to adjust the resolution down to 20nm.

This vacuum probe station enables high throughput electrical characterisation for routine screening and in-depth temperature dependent studies.

Our two BlueFors dilution refrigerators equipped with superconducting 3D vector magnets enable magneto-transport measurement at temperatures down to 20mK, where exotic quantum transport phenomena manifest.

This allows us to understand how material emits light differently when excited by or emiting left- vs. right- circularly polarised light, thus gaining insight into their chiral optical characteristics. Raman Spectroscopy allows us to use laser light to measure vibrational modes of a material.

Additionally, we investigate valley polarisation, optical properties, and material identification. These can all be done at cryogenic temperature.

A one-of-its-kind development, this is a customised set of integrated gloveboxes equipped with all the necessary tools to complete a device fabrication process without exposing sensitive quantum materials to ambient conditions, where oxygen and water can cause unwanted degradation. Capabilities of this cleanbox include solvent processing, 2D material transfer, spincoating, metal evaporation, atomic layer deposition, and thermal scanning probe lithography.
