Jeremy Levy’s research is focused on the development of quantum information technology using semiconductor quantum dots and ferroelectric/semiconductor heterostructures.  Using the electron spin as a quantum bit, Levy has worked to develop novel methods for templated growth of Ge/Si quantum dots, and a variety of optical, electrical and scanning probe methods for characterizing them.
