Carlos Antón Solanas Awarded Leonardo Scholarship 2023 - Featured

Carlos Antón Solanas has been awarded with the Beca Leonardo 2023. The Leonardo Scholarships for Researchers in Physics support the work of researchers who, being in intermediate stages of their career, are characterized by a high and innovative scientific production. In this call dedicated exclusively to Physics, a total of 7 have been awarded out of 67 received. Carlos will be working on his project “Quantum key distribution with single-photon sources at room temperature” aiming at developing solid-state single-photon sources (defects in hexagonal boron nitride) capable of generating single-photons efficiently and with high purity, and using them in free-space quantum key distribution protocols.
