Single photon source and beyond

Dibenzoterrylene (DBT) molecules hosted in thin anthracene crystals are a versatile single photon source system. We study their coupling with external nanostructures.

Nanoscale quantum sensors

Plasmonic structures prove as test beds for studying light-matter interaction at the fundamental level, while versatile hybrid antennas provide excellent means to modulate emission patterns for various applications, e.g. in quantum radiometry and metrology.

Novel light matter interfaces

We envision a new generation of nanoscale devices, exploiting different coupling mechanisms between single emitters and a graphene monolayers, realizing quantum sensors and tuneable SPSs.

Past research activities

Monte Carlo simulations provide an exact solution for the Radiative Transfer Equation in turbid media, overcoming the limits of the diffusive approximation.
