Stephen M. Durbin's research focuses on X-ray physics, particularly how X-rays interact with crystalline materials and semiconductors, and how ultrafast optical and X-ray pulses can be combined to study and detect radiation. His work involves developing detectors and techniques for synchrotron light sources, such as counting individual X-ray photons and building X-ray beam splitters, as well as exploring quantum phenomena like entangled X-ray beams.
