Much faster, much safer, much better - this is the future of technology promised by the quantum revolution. At the intersection of optics, materials science, physics and chemistry, the quantum revolution at SBASSE is focused on shaping the future of communication systems, computation, biosensors and photovoltaic technologies. The work highlighted in this video production is led by Dr. Ata Ulhaq and Dr. Ammar Khan from the Department of Physics, SBASSE.
The quantum revolution team is dedicated to the fundamental research for the development of third generation perovskite solar cells, single photon quantum light emitters and fabrication of devices out of two-dimensional semiconducting materials. They design and build optical systems which integrate lasers, optics, microscopy and spectroscopy into a highly specialized optical setup. Some of these experiments use laser light to initialize and control qubits; a fundamental unit of quantum computing, with the promise of completely revolutionizing computer technology, giving us unbreakable encryption protocols for security applications and incredible computing speeds that hold invaluable potential for the future of research in Pakistan and across the world.
