Photonic Quantum Technologies (eBook)

Mohamed Benyoucef is a Professor of Physics at the University of Kassel. He received his PhD degree from the University of Bristol (United Kingdom), and his habilitation from the University of Kassel (Germany). His research focuses on quantum dots, quantum optics and nanophononics, including the development of novel and advanced quantum nanoarchitectures; the integration of III-V semiconductor light sources into silicon, fabrication, and characterization of nano-/micro-cavities in combination with integrated quantum emitters; the study of molecule complexes and their integration into solid-state platforms as hybrid quantum systems for quantum technology applications.
