Quantum Information Group

The RLE Quantum Information Group conducts investigations in two major thrusts. The first is in quantum information, with research in the design of quantum computer and quantum communication systems, as well as work in quantum algorithms, theory of quantum...

Soft Semiconductor Group

The Soft Semiconductor Group seeks to exploit the remarkable diversity of soft semiconductors — molecular materials held together by weak van der Waals bonds. In contrast with the painstaking growth requirements of conventional semiconductors, soft semiconductors can...

Physical Optics and Electronics Group

The RLE Physical Optics and Electronics Group pursues investigations in two major thrusts. The first is in integrated photonics, the second is in electron transport in semiconductors. Current work includes research on high index contrast waveguides, magneto-optical...

NanoStructures Laboratory

The RLE Nanostructures Laboratory (NSL) develops techniques for fabricating surface structures with feature sizes in the range from nanometers to micrometers, and uses these structures in a variety of research projects. The NSL includes facilities for lithography...
