Project title: Creating pulses of light with high purity and large entanglement

supervisors: Steve Kolthammer

Project description:
The aim of this project is to generate highly squeezed, spectrally pure quantum light. To do so, I’m designing and testing a novel light source based on cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down conversion driven by a pulsed pump laser. These methods are expected to enable advances in quantum photonics and optical quantum information, including applications in cryptography, sensing, and simulation.
