About Jevon

Associate Professor Jevon Longdell serves in the Department of Physics at the University of Otago, having joined the institution in 2007 as a lecturer after completing postdoctoral research at the CSIRO and the Australian National University. His academic journey began with undergraduate studies at the University of Waikato, followed by a Master of Science degree from the University of Auckland, and culminated in a PhD from the Australian National University. As the leader of the Quantum Optics research group, Longdell investigates the interactions between light and defects or impurities in solids, with a particular emphasis on rare-earth-ion dopants. These materials offer promising alternatives to trapped atomic systems for applications in quantum information processing. Beyond quantum technologies, his work extends to practical applications such as the optical detection of ultrasound, which holds potential for innovative biomedical imaging techniques. The group's current research encompasses whispering gallery mode resonators, quantum memories, and the generation of entangled light, all leveraging rare-earth-ion doped solids for quantum computing and signal processing optics.
