Research: Quantum Optics
Quantum optics: Quantum optics is a field that explores the interaction between light and matter in the quantum regime. Here are some potential topics that we focus on in our quantum optics research center:
Quantum entanglement: Study the creation, manipulation, and detection of entangled states of light and matter, which are critical for quantum communication and computation.
Quantum measurement: Investigate the measurement of quantum states of light and matter, including weak measurements, which can be used for precision measurement and quantum sensing.
Quantum coherence and decoherence: Study the behavior of quantum systems under different environmental conditions, including the effects of decoherence on quantum information processing.
Quantum information processing: Explore the use of photons and other quantum systems for quantum information processing, including quantum communication, quantum cryptography, and quantum computing.
Quantum simulation: Use quantum systems to simulate the behavior of complex systems, such as molecules or materials, which are difficult to study using classical computers.
Quantum optics technologies: Develop new technologies for generating, manipulating, and detecting quantum states of light and matter, including single-photon sources, quantum memories, and quantum detectors.
These are just a few examples of potential research areas in quantum optics. Depending on the expertise and resources available to our research center, we choose to focus on one or several of these topics, or explore other areas of quantum optics research.
