Quantum Photonics Systems Laboratory
"The Quantum Photonics Systems Laboratory (QPS Lab), based at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Sabancı University, investigates light-matter interactions at the nanoscale to develop integrated quantum photonic technologies. We engineer nanofabricated devices that embed solid-state light emitters, such as color centers in hBN and 2D materials, to realize scalable on-chip architectures. Our research bridges the gap between fundamental material science and functional hardware, focusing on the high-performance quantum light emitters required for next-generation quantum communication and sensing.
