Max Meunier

Max Meunier is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of California, Santa Barbara. Before joining UCSB, he was a postdoctoral Fellow at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, focusing on quantum optics and cavity QED with 2D materials and Gallium Nitride defects. He completed his PhD at CNRS - CRHEA / Université Côte d'Azur, developing telecom single-photon sources from defects in Gallium Nitride for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) applications. His current research interests include: quantum photonics, quantum computing, quantum sensing, and squeezed states of light.

Recommended Reading: "Quantum Optics" by Scully-Zubairy or Mark Fox, as well as "The Quantum Theory of Light" by Loudon, are great Quantum Optics book. For semiconductor physics, "The Physics of SCs" by Marius Grundmann is a clear and concise summary of many phenomena, perfect for already introduced readers.
