Devising methods for controlling the quantum state of physical systems has long motivated researchers searching for insight into the laws of nature, understanding the behaviour of materials, and advancing information processing and sensor technology. The Barclay research group develops new quantum technology by creating precisely designed optical components - nanophotonic devices - coupled to intrinsically quantum systems. These quantum systems arise from a diverse range of physical mechanisms, such as electron spins associated with impurities embedded in the device's constituent material, and mechanical fluctuations of nanostructures cooled to low temperatures. Harnessing the quantum properties of these devices is critical to demonstrate transformative technology for low energy consumption information processing, and sensitive detection of magnetic and electric fields, mechanical displacements, and mass at the single molecule level.

长期以来，设计控制物理系统量子态的方法一直促使研究人员探索自然规律，了解材料的行为，并推动信息处理和传感器技术的发展。巴克莱研究小组通过创造精确设计的光学部件-纳米光子设备-耦合到本质上的量子系统来开发新的量子技术。这些量子系统来自一系列不同的物理机制，例如与嵌入设备组成材料中的杂质相关的电子自旋，以及冷却到低温的纳米结构的机械波动。利用这些设备的量子特性对于展示低能耗信息处理的变革性技术以及在单分子水平上灵敏地检测磁场和电场、机械位移和质量至关重要。
