Towards telecom-compatible quantum nodes using erbium-doped stoichiometric EuCl3 hydrate crystals
Result: Introduces an erbium-doped stoichiometric rare-earth platform aimed at telecom-compatible solid-state quantum nodes.
Why it matters: This is the clearest step from long-lived storage physics toward deployable quantum-network interfaces.
Nuclear Spins in a Solid Exceeding 10-Hour Coherence Times for Ultra-Long-Term Quantum Storage
Result: Demonstrates nuclear-spin coherence beyond 10 hours in a rare-earth solid, one of the strongest storage-time benchmarks for a solid-state quantum-memory-relevant system.
Why it matters: Defines the long-lived storage frontier of the lab and anchors the SSQS identity around coherence-limited quantum memory.

Research Platforms
Experimental infrastructure supporting SSQS
These platform views show the laboratory environments behind SSQS work in coherence spectroscopy, quantum memory experiments, and rare-earth material studies.
Cryogenic Optical Spectroscopy Platform
A low-temperature optics platform for coherence measurements, spectroscopy, and quantum-memory-relevant experiments in rare-earth systems.
This platform supports long-coherence measurements, stable optical addressing, and experimental routines required for solid-state quantum storage studies.
Solid-State Quantum Memory Setup
An integrated optical setup for rare-earth-ion quantum memory experiments, control sequences, and benchmarking of storage performance.
The platform links laser control, sample handling, and detection workflows needed to evaluate memory lifetime, efficiency, and coherence preservation.
Crystal and Material Preparation Environment
Laboratory infrastructure for rare-earth materials preparation, host evaluation, and sample development connected to coherence studies.
This part of the laboratory supports the transition from materials preparation to optical characterization and device-oriented screening.
