Justin Johnson’s research interests include the development of molecular and nanoscale systems for next-generation qubits and quantum sensing.  Spin states of excitons and trapped charges are manipulated through excited state dynamical engineering defined by intermolecular juxtaposition and coupling across organic/inorganic interfaces.  In addition to materials development, optical and magnetic resonance spectroscopy are used to probe signatures of spin polarization relevant to quantum computation and sensing, with a particular emphasis on state evolution and coherence times determined through time-resolved pump-probe and electronic paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
