Kai-Mei Fu is Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering at University of Washington.
Fu's Quantum Defect Lab studies defects in crystals- both in bulk single crystals and nanoparticles. Their MEM-C work spans the areas of materials characterization, spin-photonics and magnetism. The group is occupied with the following questions:
* What are the fundamental properties of a known defect state? Alternatively, by measuring the properties of an unknown state, can we identify it?
* How can the quantum properties of a defect be engineered and controlled?
* What new technologies can quantum properties of defects enable?
* What new capabilities can be realized through solid-state device integration of defects?
