Alexei Lagutchev works on materials for quantum photonics, focusing on engineering single-photon emitters (tiny defects that can emit individual particles of light) in materials such as silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, and diamond. This work aims to build components for quantum communication and quantum key distribution systems by controlling how light-emitting defects form and behave, including at low temperatures and when coupled to nanoscale optical structures. The research combines material growth, ion implantation techniques, and detailed optical measurements to characterize these emitters.
