Associate Professor in Quantum Engineering, University of Cambridge
Dr Luca Sapienza leads the Integrated Quantum Photonics research group in the Nanoscience Centre of the Department of Engineering. The group’s activities focus on the fundamental understanding of quantum optics effects on a chip, the development of quantum and nano-photonic devices integrating single-photon emitters, and the study of quantum effects in bio-molecules.
The research spans electromagnetic simulation, nanofabrication and optical characterisation, by means of time-resolved micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy, down to cryogenic temperatures. Device technology is based on III-V, silicon, silicon nitride and hybrid material systems, and comprises photonic crystal and plasmonic devices including waveguides, optical cavities and resonators.
Luca is a Chartered Engineer, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and a Fellow, Director of Studies, Tutor, Trustee and member of Council at Christ’s College Cambridge.
He is Editor in Chief of the Institution of Engineering and Technology “Quantum Communication” and an Editor of the Institute of Physics “Materials for Quantum Technology” journals.
He is an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Champion of the Department of Engineering and an Ambassador for the Global Talent Network of the Science & Technology Directorate of the Department for Business and Trade.
