We're thrilled to share that Jacob's article, "Imperfect Quantum Photonic Neural Networks," was recognized as one of the top 10% most viewed articles of those published in Advanced Quantum Technologies for 2023. This achievement highlights the growing interest and impact of his work in quantum photonics. Well done, Jacob!

Cedric had a wonderful time presenting on Chiral Quantum Photonics this past week at Quantum Days 2025 in Toronto. He also had some fun catching up with old 黄色视频 Engphys friends, Sebastian and Ben. Great work Cedric!

Megha is a postdoctoral fellow in the group in a collaborative project with Dr. Dan Dalacu at the National Research Council of Canada to advance deterministic entangled photon sources based on quantum dots in nanowires. Her research aims to push the boundaries of performance for distributed quantum sensing, high-resolution imaging, and long-distance entanglement distribution. Prior to this, she was a postdoctoral fellow in the Light-Matter Group at Polytechnique Montreal and the UFIRS Lab at Chungbuk National University, South Korea. Her research focused on ultrafast dynamics in strongly correlated materials, nonlinear optics, and quantum sources based on 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. She earned her Ph.D. from Punjabi University, India, where she explored the structure-property correlations of spinel compounds for solid-state lighting applications. Outside of her academic work, she finds cooking to be a relaxing stress-buster.

Madelyn is a fifth-year engineering physics student in the materials option looking into the uses of heterostructured devices to tune the emission of epitaxial quantum dots. She is developing a Python-based computational tool to predict the emission behaviour of the embedded quantum dots. Madelyn is passionate about understanding the interconnected relationships between material structure, properties, and processing and how this can be leveraged to create new technologies. In her spare time, Madelyn enjoys running, ice skating, playing piano, and developing instrumentation for experimental applications.

Andrew presented his latest research on 'Development towards telecom C-band single photon emission from deterministically positioned nanowire quantum dot sources' at the International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors held in Ottawa. There he had the opportunity to talk with world leaders in semiconductor physics. Congratulations on the great talk!
