CavMat: Materials in Cavities

A cryogenic instrument couples two-dimensional quantum materials to a multimode optical cavity.

Our newest experiment is CavMat: Materials in Cavities. The project merges our confocal cavity QED technique with that of the SQCRAMscope, a novel quantum sensor we invented; explore this past project. We aim to influence, in continuous rather than pulsed manner, the collective excitations of a correlated material. A grand goal is to enhance the critical temperature for superconductivity through the photon-material interaction.
