We have been using a thermal light source to test our new analysis software for photon counting experiments. This is a rather pretty first plot from the code. It shows the source is 6 times more likely to emit three photons at the same time, than it is to emit three photons at different times. A tiny optical resonator almost 7 microns in height, manufactured by my group with the help of the Institute for Compound Semiconductors. The new tuneable and pulsed laser is installed! A beautiful new gadget has arrived in the new lab. With this new spectrometer and CCD we can do twice as much work! The group is advertising to hire two Early Stage Researchers (ESR) for the LasIonDef project (Laser Fabrication and Ion Implantation of Defects as Quantum Emitters) at Cardiff’s School of Engineering. The project is funded as an European Commission’s Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Actions Innovative Training Network (ITN) and involves teams in Italy, Germany, France and Poland working on novel quantum emitters in materials such as diamond, gallium nitride and boron nitride . The positions will lead to the award of a PhD.

A Christmas delivery from attocube. It doesn't look like much but by weight this lens is probably the most expensive thing I have ever bought, and costs more than some new cars. This week we cooled our new IDQuantique superconducting single photon detector system for the first time. Very cool (pun intended). Our first group meeting with all the new joiners. Welcome all! This online meeting was like a real seminar room.
