Emergent Photonics Research Centre

Working at the forefront of emergent photonic properties in complex nonlinear optical systems.

The Emergent Photonics Research Centre (EPicX) is a multi-million-pound, state-of-the-art facility, dedicated to driving advancements in ultra-fast nonlinear optics and photonics.

Emergent Photonics embodies the idea of Photonics Complexity, a domain that describes collective behaviour, as a bridge connecting diverse areas—quantum technology, biology, life sciences, information technology, and socioeconomic applications. At the heart of the Emergent Photonics Research Centre, we leverage our extensive expertise in nonlinear optics as a portal to these uncharted territories, a gateway to unite disparate realms of science and technology in profound and unexpected ways.
