The mission of the Laboratory of Micro and Nanophotonics at the UNAM’s Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares
is to develop new optical and electrical technologies based on (and inspired by) quantum phenomena.
Our research work lies on the intersection between quantum optics,
physics chemistry, electronics, and materials science, focusing on four main areas:
Nonlinear spectroscopy with nonclassical light: The main question that we look to answer in this area is how we can use the quantum correlations present in pairs of entangled
photons to obtain information regarding the electronic structure and the energy dynamics of chemical and biological samples.
Simulation of quantum transport in electronic systems: In this area, we focus on developing electronic platforms capable of simulating quantum (and classical) Hamiltonians that show nontrivial dynamics
Multiphoton quantum states engineering: This area tries to make use of the correlations of multiple particles
(mainly photons) in the development of new sensors and sources of nonclassical light.
Quantum (and classical) smart optics: In this area, we try to improve or optimize quantum (and classical) optics experiments by means of artificial intelligence algorithms.
