Researchers at SNQS currently explore a wide-range of research themes in condensed matter physics, including 
 

1. Growth and Functional Properties of Ultrapure Nanomaterials: III-V semiconductor nanostructures (nanowires, QD-nanostructures), 2D-nanomaterials and diamond grown using methods such as MBE and CVD.
2. Heterostructures of 2D-Materials: two-dimensional materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides and layered perovskites and the exploration of their novel optical, electronic and magnetic properties.
3. Quantum-Photonics*: quantum spin-systems in III-V semiconductors and diamond and their use for quantum technologies.
4. Photonic Nanomaterials*: understanding and controlling light-matter-interactions by engineering materials to trap, route and focus light at the nanoscale.
5. Quantum Sensing: development of quantum sensors with a particular focus on applications in the life-sciences and ultra-sensitive photon detection at the quantum limit.

*SNQS collaborates closely with the Photonic Quantum Engineering group at TUM-ECE led by Kai Müller.
