Quantum optics: Quantum optical systems are prime candidates for the
realization of
protocols of quantum information processing. Specifically, light - both
in polarization or time-bin degrees of freedom or continuous-variable
degrees - gives rise to a quantum system where many ideas can readily
be
realized.
We think about quantum information protocols using Gaussian
and non-Gaussian states using
the continuous-variable quadratures of
light, work on
entanglement distillation as parts of quantum
repeaters, instances of
imaging and metrology, and
develop state preparation and
manipulation tools for linear optical
systems. We are also concerned with matter qubits and
interaction with
light. A recently acquired research interest is concerned with integrated optical
architectures.
This work is to a significant extent done in close collaboration with
experimentalists.
