Quantum Sensing Research Laboratory

Precision Magnetometry and Tests of Fundamental Physics

Our Research Projects

  • Zero-field NMR with Optical Magnetometers

    We are building an optical magnetometer that works at room temperature under zero external magnetic field to measure Nuclear Magnetic Resonance signal from various chemical samples.

  • Quantum Magnetic Sensors for Axion Dark Matter Search

    We are building a precision optical magnetometer based on quantum sensors to search for a possible effectively magnetic signature from an axion particle as a candidate for the dark matter. This research is funded by the TÜBİTAK 2232-B International Young Researchers Program. Project title: “Searching for new particles with laboratory-scale experiments using quantum magnetic sensors”, funded…
