Nanoscience

Our research explores many areas of nanotechnology - the science of the very small - with the potential to transform our future.

Quantum Technologies & Quantum Optics

Our research in quantum technologies combines both experimental and theoretical approaches to explore the fundamental principles of quantum physics and their real-world applications. We investigate how quantum systems can be harnessed for advanced sensing, secure communication, and next-generation computing, while deepening our understanding of light–matter interactions at the most fundamental level.

Plasmas

Our research covers free electron physics, accelerator science, and atomic and molecular spectroscopy, with applications ranging from spacecraft propulsion to plasma displays and electronic chip manufacturing.

Institute of Photonics

Focusing on applied photonics, we cover a number of research areas, including photonic materials and devices, neurophotonics and advanced lasers.
