Senichev Lab at UMBC
Welcome to the Quantum Light Sources and Nanophotonics (QLSN) Group at UMBC! Led by Prof. Alexander Senichev, QLSN-group focuses on experimental research in quantum photonics and nanoscale light-matter interactions. Our research program includes studies of quantum emitters, optically addressable spin defects, and their integration with nanophotonic structures and photonic circuits. We are developing experimental capabilities for confocal microscopy, time-resolved and resonant optical spectroscopy, and photon-correlation and interference measurements. Our optical setups will support free-space and fiber-coupled studies of quantum emitters and integrated photonic structures, including measurements at cryogenic temperatures and under applied magnetic fields. Through these studies, we seek to understand how material and photonic environments govern emitter properties and to establish the control needed for deterministic quantum light sources and spin-photon interfaces for quantum communication, sensing, and information processing.
