High-Q nanophotonic resonators are crucial for many applications in classical and quantum optical processing, communication, sensing, and more. We achieve ultra-high quality factors by preparing a highly transparent and strongly dispersive…
Oxygen-plasma pre-cleans are routine before fabrication, but on BaTiO3 thin films we observed catastrophic photoresist lift-off during mild rinsing and sonication. To explain the failure, we combined optical microscopy, EDS, and XPS. EDS…
Silicon vacancies ($V_\mathrm{Si}$) in 4H-SiC are promising candidates for quantum technologies due to their long spin coherence times and integrability into mature semiconductor platforms. However, conventional CMOS-compatible processing…

Antirelaxation surface coatings allow long spin relaxation times in alkali-metal cells without buffer gas, enabling faster diffusion of the alkali atoms throughout the cell and giving larger signals due to narrower optical linewidths.…
