Dr. Ben Green

I am an Associate Professor in the Physics Department at the .

Research interests

My research lies at the interface between applied physics and advanced engineering, as recognised by my award of a five-year Research Fellowship. My primary focus is the identification and exploitation of technologically useful point defects in diamond: this is driven through a mixture of electron paramagnetic resonance and coherent optical experiments, with an emphasis on the understanding and control of defects with the potential to act as spin-photon interfaces.

I am part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Diamond Science and Technology - please see the DST website for a list of current PhD projects. I also work closely with my previous colleagues in the quantum hub. As part of a wide collaboration, we are developing quantum computing nodes based on optical-cavity-enhanced colour centres in diamond.

Teaching

I co-lecture the 3rd year undergraduate course in with Martin Lees, and co-lead the 2nd year Microprocessors lab. I also lead the postgraduate Centre for Diamond Science and Technology Module 3: .
