Assistant Professor Brian Zhou receives NSF CAREER award

Prof. Zhou receives a 5-year NSF CAREER grant to develop newly-emerged quantum sensors as probes for the optoelectronic properties of technologically promising materials. His project will place a single quantum system – an electron spin in diamond – near material samples and resolve the flow of photocurrents inside these materials. Prof. Zhou’s technique isolates the effect of photocurrents on the coherent dynamics of a spin superposition, while protecting the spin from environmental noise.  Read More
