About our Research
We are an experimental Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) research group at Wichita State University. We research magnetism, Spin dynamics, spin physics, and spin electronics in nanoscale materials and devices. We are interested in fundamental phenomena and applications to increase our scientific understanding and technological advancement. Current research includes:
- Quantum interactions between single-spin qubits and magnons to enable entanglement and quantum transduction.
- Quantum sensing of magnetic materials using NV centers.
- Designing and building an On-chip magnetometer using a diamond NV center for real-world sensing applications such as Navigation.
- Probing quantum physics in 2D vdW quantum magnets with an aim to uncover novel quantum phenomena.
- Exploring and understanding the charge transport and Spin-dependent processes in semiconductors.
Our experiments typically demand device design, development, and testing that cannot be purchased commercially. We regularly design and build custom probe heads for FMR spectroscopy and custom electronics for experimental control and automation, and we integrate optical, microwave, and radio-frequency instrumentations to monitor and control quantum sensors such as the NV center.
