About the Lab
The aim of the Photonics and Quantum Enabled Sensing Technology (PQUEST) Laboratory is to explore and push the boundaries of precision metrology and sensing using unprecedented opportunities presented by novel interdisciplinary research in fields like nano-photonics, classical and quantum information processing and computing, and life sciences. To this end, the lab develops practical quantum devices via design and experimentation, thus connecting quantum theory to engineering applications.
