    CREOL : 103

    Title: Biasing the Quantum Vacuum to Control Macroscopic Probability Distributions in Bistable Optical Systems Abstract: Quantum field theory reveals that even in the vacuum state, electromagnetic fields fluctuate, and can be harnessed as a source for quantum random number generation. I will discuss how these fluctuations can realize "biased" quantum randomness in a photonic platform. By introducing vacuum-level bias fields …
