Dr. Dibos is an expert in nanofabrication and cryogenic measurement of low-dimensional optical nanostructures. His research interests include optical coupling of photonic and plasmonic nanocavities to atom-like defect centers in solid-state hosts. The goal is to modify the spectral properties, increase photon emission rates, and improve the photon collection efficiency for quantum information science applications.

To that end, Dr. Dibos works within two different divisions: (1) the Nanofabrication and Devices (NFD) group within Argonne’s Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) a DOE nanoscience user facility with a premier cleanroom, and (2) the Center for Molecular Engineering as a primary researcher on the DOE Quantum Link project investigating remote entanglement of solid-state spins at low temperatures connected via dedicated optical fiber.

Matt Eichenfield is a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff and the group leader of the MEMS-Enabled Quantum Photonics (MEQP) group at Sandia National Laboratories. Under Matt's direction and in collaboration with many other Sandia experts, the MEQP group works on bold solutions to the most demanding quantum science and engineering challenges using microsystems fabricated in Sandia's MESA nanofabrication facility. Examples of these microsystems include: piezoelectric photonic integrated circuits for control of atomic species with dense UV and optical circuitry; quantum transducers that convert microwave frequency quantum information between superconducting circuits, phonons, and photons; and generation of massive entangled states of photons using integrated quantum emitters and photonic integrated circuits at cryogenic temperatures. Matt received his PhD from Caltech in 2009 in the field of quantum nano-optomechanical systems and received the Demetriades Award for best thesis. Subsequently, Matt was the Kavli Nanoscience Institute Prize Postdoctoral Fellow at Caltech until joining Sandia in 2011 as a Harry S. Truman Presidential Fellow in National Security Science and Engineering.
