Training on Laser Fabrication and Ion Implantation of Defects as Quantum Emitters

LasIonDef proposes a unique multidisciplinary approach combining state of the art fabrication methods of ion implantation and laser writing to develop high performance and novel quantum emitters across three promising wide bandgap quantum platforms: diamond, GaN and hBN. The main objectives of are LasIonDef: • Development of novel micro and nanofabrication methods to realise high performance quantum emitters, photonics, electronics and microfluidics in promising quantum material platforms. • Training of 13 ESRs in a highly interdisciplinary environment, with an outlook to the industrial commercialization of the quantum technologies. • In addition to science, train ESRs in management, organisational, communication, and entrepreneurial skills. The wide-ranging training proposed within LasIonDef will enable ESRs to embark on successful careers in quantum technologies in either academic or industry settings. • Create and maintain strong collaborations via research and training between researchers, industry, non-profit organizations, even after the conclusion of the LasIonDef project through spin-off projects, PhD and postdoc exchanges and participation to international networks and conferences. • Educate the general public on quantum optics, emphasising how the quantum technologies developed within LasIonDef will have an impact on society. This crucial objective will be accomplished by a variety of locally and digitally targeted outreach activities led by the 13 ESRs and by their contribution to an educational demonstration kit developed together with EYEST. • Develop prototype devices for quantum sensing and communication based on the quantum emitter and interfacing components realised in LasIonDef. In conclusion, the main scientific and training objectives of the project were achieved, with ESRs successfully trained in diverse enviornments thanks to the broad knowledge of the supervisors from the consortium. In addition to comprehensive and multidiscplinary secondments, LasIonDef held network-wide schools on the scientific topics linked to the scientific objectives for complementing and strengthening the training that is provided locally by individual partners. In total, six scientific schools and three transferable skills schools were held in six different European cities.
