We are the Pan lab. We study how light interacts with materials at the nanoscale. By learning how to probe and control these interactions, we aim to develop new technologies that could make communication more secure, computing faster, and networking more efficient. We are especially interested in creating bright, controllable sources of quantum light from materials and using quantum light to study quantum materials. To do this, we build instruments, design and fabricate nanoscale photonic devices, and explore exciting new phenomena at the intersection of materials, light, and devices.
