This project aims to create a tool to systematically engineer optical properties of emitters in solids by understanding and manipulating materials atom by atom. The tool – an optically enhanced scanning tunnelling microscope – is expected to drive future developments in optical technologies. The project expects to deliver an atomic-scale understanding of rare-earth sites optimised for sensing and coherence. The expected outcomes include highly developed theoretical insights into solid-state emitters and how to control their interactions with light and other fields. The expected benefit based on the ability to engineer optimised emitters for optical sensors and quantum technologies will transform material science from exploration to design.

该项目旨在创建一种工具，通过逐个原子地理解和操纵材料来系统地设计固体中发射器的光学特性。该工具——光学增强扫描隧道显微镜——预计将推动光学技术的未来发展。该项目期望对稀土位点进行原子尺度的理解，并针对传感和相干性进行优化。预期成果包括对固态发射器以及如何控制它们与光和其他场的相互作用的高度发达的理论见解。基于为光学传感器和量子技术设计优化发射器的能力的预期效益将使材料科学从探索转变为设计。
