The coordinator of the “Basque Quantum” (BasQ) initiative to develop quantum technologies.
The research group of Javier Aizpurua devotes its efforts to novel aspects of nanooptics, with special emphasis on quantum effects in the optical response of molecular emitters in nanoantennas. He has developed theory to understand the excitation of surface plasmons in STEM, in STM, in SERS, SEIRA, or in s-SNOM.
