Dr. Guy Matmon

Dr. Guy Matmon is a tenure-track scientist in the Quantum Technologies Group at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland, within the PSI Center for Photon Science. He holds a BSc and MSc in Physics/Mathematics from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a PhD in Physics from the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University.

Research Focus: Quantum coherent control of single donors in silicon, THz quantum cascade lasers, Si/SiGe heterostructures, and optical metamaterials. His work bridges semiconductor physics, quantum optics, and terahertz technology with applications in quantum computing and biomedical sensing.

Key Contributions: Pioneered THz-driven quantum control of donor states in silicon, developed broadband terahertz metamaterial absorbers, and advanced metrology techniques for high-index solids. Supervises PhD students in quantum technologies and manages the IR beam line (X01DC) at the Swiss Light Source SLS.

Patents: Co-inventor of 28 patents on optical communication systems and integrated optics beam deflection technologies, including methods for precise optical element alignment and cylindrical lens configurations.

Lab Affiliations: Leads the Laboratory for X-ray Nanoscience and Technologies optical laboratory and contributes to the Quantum Technologies Group at PSI.
