Projects
This page shows our upcoming, current and past sponsored research projects.
Current
Using squeezing and entangled photons in the physical layer for enhancing security, privacy and resilience of an optical communications network.
Generation of many-photon entangled states using atomic emitters that act as codes for photon loss but exhibit quantum-enhanced phase sensitivity.
Investigation of the use of distributed entanglement to enhance the performance of an array of passive and/or active sensors.
Gen-IV Engineering Research Center (ERC) dedicated to the development of the full-stack future quantum internet.
Developing on-chip squeezed light sources for sensor applications that could generate upwards of 20dB of continuous-wave squeezed light at optical frequencies.
Reconfigurable sorting of spatial modes with programmable multi-plane light conversion (MPLC) built using spatial light modulators, for enhanced object recognition with space-domain awareness applications.
To design a parametric control protocol to realize the currently-unrealizable implementation of a two-mode optical cross-Kerr interaction at low input photon number levels—by iterated application of quantum squeezing operations for a fast and loss-mitigated accrual of weak photonic cross-Kerr phase.
In this project, we assess and develop the network architectures and communications protocols needed to build and operate quantum networks for US Department of Energy (DOE) quantum computing and sensing systems.
