Subject: [Excitonics-Theory] Special quantum information seminar, Marco Bellini, Oct 05, 4-5 pm, MIT 34-401A
We have a special quantum information seminar on the next Tuesday at 4 pm. Marco Bellini, who is visiting us next week, will give a talk on "Manipulating the quantum nature of light by single-photon addition and subtraction". Please see below for more information on this event.
Abstract:
I will illustrate some of the recent activities carried out in our
laboratory to investigate and control the quantum nature of light. The
experimental implementation of some of the most basic quantum
operations, like single-photon creation [1,2] and annihilation [3], has
allowed us to generate and manipulate light at the most accurate levels.
This, together with advanced techniques for the complete
characterization of the generated light states, has allowed us to probe
fundamental rules of quantum physics (like the commutation relations
[4-6]), and develop novel tools (like noiseless linear amplification
[7]) for quantum information processing and future quantum technologies.
