Waves of the Future

In the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis, a one-of-a-kind hub for vacuum electronic devices allows a community of researchers to build upon the past to discover the future.

3 Questions with Weijian Yang

The associate professor spoke with BioPhotonics about a two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed neural activity developed by his team.

A New Angle for Quantum

UC Davis researchers have demonstrated an angle etching method for fabricating quantum photonic devices at the wafer scale in silicon carbide. This development has brought within reach the reality of producing quantum nanodevices at scale and, thus, the development of the quantum internet.
