    Summary 

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical imaging method that allows for in-vivo, non-invasive imaging of the structure and vasculature of biological tissue. Commercially available, clinical OCT systems utilize point-scanning method to acquire volumetric images over a large surface with typical frame rates of ~ 30 frames/ second. Since living biological tissue is constantly moving due to breathing, heart rate, muscle twitch, etc., OCT images acquired with the point-scanning method are compromised by motion-related image artefacts. In this project, we propose to build an ultra-fast OCT system based on a line-scanning method, capable of resolving this issue. By combining high resolution (<2-micron) with high imaging speed (2,500 frames / second), the line-scanning OCT technology will be able to generate in-vivo and non-invasively volumetric images of biological tissue down to the sub-cellular level; map in 3D the blood vasculature and measure precisely the blood flow; and measure the functional response of neural tissues to external stimuli. We plan to use the new OCT system to image the healthy and pathological human cornea and limbus, with the ultimate the goal of improving early diagnostics and monitoring of the effectiveness of treatment of potentially blinding corneal and limbal diseases.

    Free-space Polarization-selective Microcavity based on Chiral Metasurfaces

    Summary Developing a new type of Fabry-Pérot cavity that allows improved control of the atoms’ emission into the cavity mode will result in enhancement of the efficiency and fidelity of quantum state transfer from photons to atoms and back. This in turn can be used to improve the performance of quantum networks and repeaters, as […]

    Quantum State Tomography with Machine Learning

    Summary   An important challenge in building a quantum computer is quantifying the level of control obtained in the preparation of a quantum state. The state of a quantum device is characterized from experimental measurements, using a procedure known as tomography. Exact tomography requires a vast amount of computer resources, making it prohibitive for quantum […]

    Quantum Computational Resources in the Presence of Symmetry

    Summary Fault-tolerance is essential to the performance of quantum technologies, but known schemes are extremely resource intensive. Thus, improving existing schemes or inventing new schemes is of central importance. This joint project is based on the realization that fault-tolerance schemes make use of symmetries in fundamental ways, and that studying the problem of fault tolerance […]
