Quantum_optics_control

From June to September 2022 I worked in a quantum optics subgroup in the Lukin Group at Harvard University. The subgroup I was in studied 2D materials/TMDs (transition metal dichalcogenides) using spectroscopy and NV centers. During my time I built a CSLM (Confocal Scanning laser Microscope) and wrote software to control the setup for NV-based measurements. Software was written in Python in a Jupyter-Lab notebook and then moved to a GUI-based interface written from scratch using PyQt5. The QCoDeS data-acquisition framework was used to run the experiment.

GUI

This is a folder containing the GUI-based implementation of the experiment contorl software.

This file is the notebook running the setup on the optical bench

plotting-results

This file contains all of the collected images from the CSLM once consistently working scanning was acheived.
