The Quantum Nano-Optics of Semiconductors (QNOS) Group at University of Arizona in Tucson, led by Professor Galina Khitrova, is dedicated to researching the basic physics of semiconductor quantum-confined structures. Our current projects involve examining the strong coupling between photonic crystal nanocavities and quantum dots, including mode scanning methods and the potential use of dots as qubits. Located in the Optical Sciences Center, University of Arizona, Tucson, we possess the capability to both create and study semiconductor structures using MBE (molecular beam epitaxy) and various spectral methods. Our group is located in the Meinel Building on campus. See the map to find us.
