The Quantamole Research Program revolves around 3 broad themes:

Single-molecule quantum technologies

The team is developing new molecules and device architectures for the deterministic emission of single photons at room temperature. Single photons have many applications including use for secure communications and ultrasensitive optical sensing.

Organic radicals

The team is developing stable emissive radicals for single photon emission and sensitive magnetometry. Unlike the vast majority of organic molecules, which have zero spin in the ground state, optical radicals are spin-polarized in both the ground and excited state offering unique opportunities for quantum technologies.

Nonlinear organic materials

Optical nonlinearities are at the heart of most quantum photonic technologies and nonlinear organic materials are amongst the best performing of all known optical materials. Their integration on-chip tends to be cumbersome or impossible. The team is developing novel organic nonlinear materials that allow for simple integration on existing integrated photonic platforms for electro-optic switching and the generation of quantum light.
