Nathalie de Leon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University, specializing in quantum information processing, quantum networks, nanoscale sensing, materials science, and nanophotonics. Her research explores materials challenges for quantum computing hardware, superconducting transmon qubits, and nanophotonic quantum phase switches. She investigates nuclear magnetic resonance detection of single proteins, visible-frequency hyperbolic metasurfaces, and coupling single trapped atoms to nanoscale optical cavities. Her work also includes semiconductor qubits, strain-induced self-organization in VO2 nanobeams, and efficient readout of single spin states in diamond. De Leon's research bridges nanotechnology and quantum systems to advance sensing and communication technologies.
