Traditionally\, laser-cooling apparatus were large\, often approaching room-scale\, but over the past decade there have been concerted global efforts\, including the UK’s Quantum Hubs initiative\, to reduce their size\, weight\, power\, and cost to enable the real-world deployment of quantum technologies. \n\n\n\nThe University of Strathclyde developed the grating magneto-optical trap (gMOT)\, which replaces the traditional six-beam MOT optical-geometry with a single input beam and a diffractive optic. This greatly reduces system complexity\, eases miniaturisation\, and provides a large solid angle of optical access. Typical Rb gMOTs trap >10⁷ atoms from vapour and achieve microkelvin temperatures. Recent advances at Strathclyde include gMOT atomic fountains\, optical lattices with the gMOT optic as the reflector\, and integration with sub-wavelength RF cavities\, paving the way for compact atomic clocks with stabilities approaching 10⁻¹³  τ -1/2. \n\n\n\nAnother challenge is achieving compact vacuum systems suitable for laser cooling. In collaboration with industrial partners\, we have created centilitre-scale ultra-high vacuum chambers with integrated gMOT optics\, demonstrating long operational lifetimes without active pumping. When combined with packaged electronics and beam-launch optics\, these become true cold-atom platform subsystems\, requiring only a power supply and a fibre-coupled laser input. \n\n\n\nThese platforms are now being translated into field-ready quantum sensors through UK academic–industrial partnerships. Applications include compact atomic clocks (gClock) and hybrid classical–quantum inertial navigation systems\, with initial sea trials planned for 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nOliver Burrow\n\n\n\nDr. Oliver Burrow is a Research Fellow in the University of Strathclyde’s Experimental Quantum Optics and Photonics Group. He completed his MPhys in Physics with Theoretical Physics at the University of Manchester in 2011 before moving to the University of Liverpool\, where his studies were developing a prototype atom interferometer to probe the dark contents of the vacuum under the supervision of Dr Jon Coleman\, earning his PhD in 2016. That research group has since become a founding member of the AION and MAGIS collaborations\, which are developing cutting-edge atom interferometers for gravitational-wave detection. \n\n\n\nSince joining Strathclyde in 2015\, Dr. Burrow’s research has focused on developing compact components for laser cooling\, with a strong emphasis on knowledge exchange and industrial collaboration. He has played a key role in advancing gMOT optics with Kelvin Nanotechnology and in developing centilitre-scale ultra-high vacuum gMOT systems with CPI-TMD. These technologies have become integral to next-generation quantum sensors in the UK\, and he is now leading efforts at Strathclyde with industry to deploy these cold-atom platforms as core subsystems in practical quantum sensors. \n\n\n\nDr. Burrow’s visit is hosted by ECE Associate Professor Jennifer Choy\, and ECE Antoine-Bascom Professor and Jack St. Clair Kilby Professor Mikhail Kats URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/ece-research-seminar-series-dr-oliver-burrow/ LOCATION:2321 Engineering Hall\, 1415 Engineering Drive\, Madison\, 53711 CATEGORIES:Electrical & Computer Engineering,Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/ECE-Research-Seminar-Series.avif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250730T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250730T130000 DTSTAMP:20260413T131158 CREATED:20250708T184816Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250710T131826Z UID:10001245-1753876800-1753880400@engineering.wisc.edu SUMMARY:ECE Virtual Alumni Town Hall DESCRIPTION:ECE alumni\, we hope you will join us for this one-hour event hosted by ECE Department Chair Susan Hagness.

On the other hand\, the 21 st Century is considered by many to be the century of light following a century of developments in electronics. Therefore\, Ronning will present several experiments for the manipulation of the optical properties of (nano)materials using ion beams\, as well as corresponding strategies for the realization of photonic and quantum devices. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nCarsten Ronning\n\n\n\nCarsten Ronning is full professor and director of the Institute of Solid State Physics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena\, Germany. He studied physics at the Universities of Bremen and Konstanz\, and completed his PhD thesis entitled “Diamond-like materials prepared via mass selected ion beam deposition” in 1996. After holding a post-doc position at the North Carolina State University (USA)\, he performed intense research at the University of Göttingen on thin films\, semiconductor physics as well as on semiconductor nanowires. He moved to the Friedrich Schiller University Jena in 2008\, where his group is today studying the synthesis\, modification and characterization of nano-scale solids\, where the optical properties of semiconductor nanowires and metasurfaces are in focus.

Recently\, Sc-\, B- and Y-doped AlN alloys have garnered tremendous interest for their ferroelectric behavior. In this talk\, I will focus on findings in our journey to develop new electronic devices on AlN in the past two decades. \n\n\n\nWurtzite III-nitrides are well known as a family of polar semiconductors. When sandwiching a narrow gap III-nitride layer with wider gap barrier materials\, one interface is characterized as the negative polarization charge interface while the other as the positive polarization charge interface. The polarization charges are fixed in space and emanating electric field while the entire material stack will do everything it can to minimize its total free energy due to the thermodynamic driving force. As a result\, compensating charges can be generated: either mobile charge carriers including delocalized electrons and holes\, or charged defect states that are localized in the real and energy space. If undesired defect formation is sufficiently suppressed in the heterostructure\, mobile charge carriers will be generated and can be harvested for electronic applications. To this end\, we succeeded in generating both mobile electrons and holes in thin GaN quantum well sandwiched by AlN. I will discuss how we generate and detect these mobile charges\, and some demonstrated utilities in terms of fundamental understanding and practical applications. \n\n\n\nProfessor Grace Xing\n\n\n\nBio:Huili Grace Xing is currently the Director of SUPREME – a SRC JUMP2.0 research center\, the William L. Quackenbush Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University\, and has recently served as the Associate Dean for Research & Graduate Studies of the College of Engineering. \n\n\n\nShe is a recipient of the AFOSR Young Investigator Award\, NSF CAREER Award\, ISCS Young Scientist Award\, the Intel Outstanding Researcher Award\, and the SIA/SRC University Researcher Award. She is a fellow of APS\, IEEE & AAAS. \n\n\n\nXing received a B.S. in physics from Peking University\, M.S. in Material Science from Lehigh University and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from University of California\, Santa Barbara\, respectively. She was a faculty member with the University of Notre Dame from 2004 to 2014. Her research focuses on development of III-V nitrides\, 2-D crystals\, oxide semiconductors\, recently also multiferroics & magnetic materials: growth\, electronic and optoelectronic devices\, especially the interplay between material properties and device development for high performance devices\, including RF/THz devices\, tunnel field effect transistors\, power electronics\, DUV emitters and memories. Together with her colleague Debdeep Jena\, they were the first to demonstrate distributed polarization doping (DPD)\, especially the p-type DPD in nitride semiconductors. This doping scheme is fundamentally different from impurity doping and modulation doping\, thus dubbed as the 3rd generation of doping science by Xing. Polarization doping is particularly powerful in polar ultrawide bandgap semiconductors since it might be the only known method to achieve both n-type and p-type in an UWBG semiconductor with doping properties akin to shallow impurity dopants. \n\n\n\nXing has delivered 200+ invited talks and seminars\, and has authored/co-authored 350+ journal papers including Nature journals\, Physical Review Letters\, Applied Physics Letters\, Electron Device Letters\, and 140+ conference proceeding publications in IEDM\, ISPSD etc. Her h-index is 89 on google scholar.

In this talk\, I will present some recent advances of nanoscale and polarization engineering of (ultra)wide bandgap III-nitride semiconductors and their emerging applications in next-generation microelectronics and photonics. By exploiting the strong excitonic effect in extreme quantum-confined nanostructures\, conventional low-efficiency AlGaN can be turned into high-brightness deep-ultraviolet emitters\, which offer the only alternative technology to replace mercury lamps for water purification/disinfection. The strong excitonic effect can be further exploited to achieve ultrahigh efficiency nano-LEDs to power future virtual/augmented reality. I will also discuss the recent discovery of ferroelectricity in III-nitride semiconductors\, which leads to dramatically enhanced linear and nonlinear optical properties\, piezoelectric response\, and reconfigurability\, that are urgently needed for integrated quantum photonics for information processing\, acousto-electronics for 5G/6G technologies\, memory-in-computing in harsh environments\, and light-driven artificial photosynthesis for clean energy. \n\n\n\nProfessor Zetian Mi\n\n\n\nBio: Zetian Mi is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Pallab K.

This leads to an advantage in shot-noise-limited sensitivity and/or dynamic range (set by the ODMR linewidth) of a factor of 780 compared to the average of existing NV and vapour-cell sensors. \n\n\n\nDr. Jan Jeske\n\n\n\nAt Fraunhofer IAF in Germany we furthermore perform imaging magnetometry with a NV widefield magnetometry setup (microscale) and a single NV in the tip of an AFM (nanoscale) and apply this to materials research and fatigue\, electronics and biosamples. \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Jan Jeske has led the Quantum Sensing Group at Fraunhofer IAF in Freiburg Germany since 2018. Previously\, he spent 4 years of postdoc in the group of Prof Andrew Greentree\, where the idea of laser threshold magnetometry was developed theoretically. Jeske obtained his PhD at the RMIT University in Melbourne\, Australia in the group of Prof. Jared Cole. He obtained a master’s in physics from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany.   \n\n\n\nDr. Jeske’s seminar is hosted by ECE Associate Professor Jennifer Choy.
