LQNO presents large-area diamond PICs at ECIO 2026
Pleased to present our recent work on the development of a large-scale diamond photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platform at the European Conference on Integrated Optics 2026, ETH Zürich.At LQNO, we are advancing the integration of diamond into a scalable and cohesive photonics platform, enabling next-generation quantum and photonic technologies.
New publication ! LQNO measures heat transport using quantum sensors in suspended diamond nanostructures.
We report a method to spatially resolve heat transport in suspended diamond nanostructures by integrating nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center spin defects as local thermometric probes. In our paper, “Imaging Heat Transport in Suspended Diamond Nanostructures with Integrated Spin Defect Thermometers,” we combine nanoscale device engineering and nanoofabrication with quantum sensing to obtain highly detailed maps of (…)
LQNO at Swiss NanoConvention 2025
LQNO research group participated in the Swiss NanoConvention 2025 conference held in Brugg AG, presenting two posters on the fabrication of ultra-thin diamond membranes for photonics and quantum sensing, and on entangled photon-pair generation enhanced by 2D heterostructures. Our showcases the advanced capabilities in microfabrication available to research groups in Swiss institutions, and their applications in (…)
