Research interest
My long-term goal is to establish a complete quantum computing and communication system that includes quantum computers, quantum computing languages and quantum network. My current research interests include semiconductor integrated quantum optical circuit, quantum processor and network based on gate-defined QD, color centers in diamond and 2D materials. Until 2023, I have published 22 papers including Nature Nanotechnology, Physical Review Letters and Nano Letters, and 1 German patent. Additionally, I was involved in writing a book chapter for Quantum Dots for Quantum information Technologies published by Springer.
