Associate Professor in Quantum Engineering, University of Cambridge

Dr Luca Sapienza leads the Integrated Quantum Photonics research group in the Engineeering Department. The Group's activities focus on the fundamental understanding of quantum optics effects on a chip, the development of quantum and nano-photonic devices integrating single-photon emitters, and the study of quantum effects in bio-molecules.


The research spans electromagnetic simulation, nanofabrication and optical characterisation, by means of time-resolved micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy, down to cryogenic temperatures. Device technology is based on III-V, silicon, silicon nitride and hybrid material systems to realise photonic crystal and plasmonic devices including waveguides, optical cavities and resonators.

    2024 CSaP Annual Cleevely Lecture: Dr Dave Smith, National Technology Adviser

    The Government, science policy, and products - from concept to consumer: After six months as the first full time National Technology Adviser, Dave Smith will reflect on how UK government investment in the science base supports our private sector and how the Science and Technology Framework guides government innovation policy today.
