    • Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics with Flux Qubits 

      Orgiazzi, Jean-Luc François-Xavier (University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)
      This thesis presents circuit quantum electrodynamic (cQED) experiments done with artificial atoms coupled to a high quality factor superconducting microwave resonator. This work discusses the theoretical framework, design, ...
    • Controlling Photon Emission from Nitrogen Vacancy Centers in Diamond 

      Rajagopal Muthu, Vinodh Raj (University of Waterloo, 2021-04-16)
      In this thesis we investigate two domains of control over the photonic emission from NV centers. In the first part of the thesis, which focuses on emission control in the spatial domain, we will be exploring the design of ...
    • Creating and shaping light at single photon level 

      Sarkar, Supratik (University of Waterloo, 2021-05-26)
      The ability to control light at the single photon level is essential for fully harnessing the power of quantum information theory, and precision measurements. In this thesis, we study two phenomena which can help us to ...
    • Design and applications of single-photon devices based on waveguides coupled to quantum emitters 

      Bappi, Golam Raqeeb (University of Waterloo, 2016-10-28)
      Engineering photon-photon interactions is fundamentally challenging because photons in vacuum do not interact with each other. While their interactions can be mediated using optical nonlinearities, these effects are ...
    • Graphene-based FET biosensors 

      Novodchuk, Inna (University of Waterloo, 2021-06-16)
      Graphene and graphene-based materials are highly attractive for field effect transistor (FET) applications because of their elevated theoretical charge carrier mobility. Graphene FETs (GFETs) are studied for biosensing ...
    • Integrated Waveguide Interfaces for Quantum Optics Applications 

      Al Maruf, Rubayet (University of Waterloo, 2020-09-30)
      This dissertation explores the integration and interfacing of a variety of photonic devices with optical waveguides, aiming to minimize the optical losses and physical footprint of such systems. The specific investigations ...
    • Laser annealing irradiated silicon single-photon avalanche photodiodes for quantum satellite receiver 

      Lim, Jin Gyu (University of Waterloo, 2018-05-11)
      Single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs) are a practical option for space-based quantum communications requiring single-photon detection. However, radiation damage to SPADs significantly increases their dark count rates ...
    • Quantum experiments with single-photon spin-orbit lattice arrays 

      Xu, Ruoxuan (University of Waterloo, 2019-09-19)
      The thesis introduces two single-photon experiments with the lattice of spin-orbit arrays. The basic background knowledge has been introduced in Chapter 1. Chapters 2-4 describe the detailed techniques used in these two ...
