AG Lorke: PD Dr. Martin Paul Geller
Curriculum Vitae
Research
My research interests are in the area of optical and transport properties of semiconductor nanostructures, including quantum optics and transport measurements of quantum dots in the perspective of future (quantum) devices. Within this area, I am particularly interested in the fundamental processes that limit the applicability of quantum dots and defect states as single photon emitters (such as Auger recombination). Quantum emitters are the fundamental building blocks for combining photons as flying qubits with electrons (spins) as stationary qubits in future quantum information technologies. My expertise ranges from device fabrication (lithography, focused ion beam) to time-resolved electrical transport measurements and optical characterisation and control in photoluminescence and especially high-resolution resonance fluorescence measurements.
