    Summary

     

    This project develops new sources of light that utilize quantum entanglement to enhance imaging resolution and detection. We aim to go beyond simple photon pairs and advance our understanding and control of new quantum states of light. Our approach uses deterministic single-photon subtraction (removing of a specific photon from a pulse of light) implemented with three-level solid-state quantum emitters, such as quantum dots and colour centers in diamond, coupled to chiral waveguides. In this type of waveguide, light propagation direction is determined by light’s polarization. Our goal is to cascade multiple photon subtraction stages on a chip-scale device and explore deterministic photon subtraction as a tool for engineering quantum states of light for improved resolution of optical microscopy and long range optical sensing.

     

    Figure 1. A three-level quantum emitter with circularly polarized transitions between its ground and excited states is strongly coupled to a chiral waveguide to form a device that can deterministically subtract single photon from input light. This can be used to generate highly non-classical states from, e.g., squeezed coherent states.

    Quantum Dynamics of Cavity Interactions with Spin Ensembles

    Summary   High quality factor cavities can be powerful control elements for ensembles of spins, enabling unitary control as well as on demand cooling. They can also be used to couple two otherwise non-interacting ensembles. The goal of the project is to explore the physics and engineering of such systems both theoretically and experimentally. The laboratory contains a […]

    Next Generation Quantum Sensors

    We are developing new semiconductor p-n junctions and designing novel nanowire arrays that have the potential to significantly enhance the ability to detect light at the single photon level over an unprecedented wavelength range from the ultraviolet to infrared.

    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 […]

    Novel Superconducting Qubits for Error-Corrected Processors

    Summary In this project, we develop novel superconducting qubits for error-corrected processors to enable large-scale quantum computing. Our design efforts will specifically target error-corrected architectures through a variety of paths. Possible features will include built-in parity measurements and the use of bosonic codes, such as Fock state and Cat codes, as our starting focus. Early […]
