Extreme Light
Research Group
What could you do if you had a camera so fast that it can freeze light in motion? Or a quantum sensing device that can measure the path taken by a single photon with a precision of a single atom?
We are developing the technologies that will enable new forms of imaging with applications ranging from seeing behind and through walls to quantum microscopy. See our TEDx video and also our video explaining how we can see behind walls.
The extreme light group is part of the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow, Scotland.
Our research is funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering, the European Research Council (ERC), the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), The Leverhulme Trust, DSTL, and is part of the UK Quantum Imaging Hub, QuantIC.
