Quantum and Nonlinear Optoelectronics Group
Welcome to the homepage of the Quantum and Nonlinear Optoelectronics Group at Notre Dame! Led by electrical engineering professor David Burghoff, our mission is to:
-
Use quantum engineering to push beyond the limits of conventional electronics and photonics, exploiting novel phenomena to create devices that interact with the world in new ways.
-
Approach technology development from all levels, not only seeking to perform basic science and using newly-discovered phenomena to create devices, but also using those devices to create systems that seek to address the world’s key challenges in sensing and computation.
