Title: Variational processing of partially coherent light in photonic integrated circuits Abstract: Classical and quantum optical fields are naturally described in terms of modes. Modal decompositions underpin our understanding of the generation, propagation, and measurement of multimode light, as exemplified by the Karhunen–Loève expansion for partially coherent fields, density-matrix eigendecompositions, Schmidt decompositions of bipartite states, and the Bloch–Messiah decomposition of Gaussian …
Events at UCFTitle: Building network of superconducting quantum processors with optical interconnects Abstract: Optically interconnected networks of heterogeneous quantum platforms are milestones of future quantum information infrastructure. Integrating superconducting qubits as the prominent quantum processors in such a network requires efficient and high-fidelity microwave-optical interfaces. In this talk, I will highlight our recent progress towards an electro-optomechanical transducer, which converts quantum-level microwave …
Events at UCFTitle: A New Measure: The revolutionary, quantum reform of the modern metric system Abstract: The International System of Units (the SI), the modern metric system, recently underwent its most revolutionary change since its origins during the French Revolution. The nature of this revolution is that all of the base units of the SI are now defined by fixing values of natural constants. …
Events at UCFTitle: An operator-based approach to classifying topology in open and nonlinear systems Abstract: In this talk, I will provide an overview of some of the outstanding problems in the classification of topological materials in physical systems, and I will discuss how many of these problems can be addressed through the spectral localizer framework. About the Speaker: Alexander Cerjan is a Principal Member …
Events at UCFTitle: A study in contrasts: epitaxial integration of III-Vs with dielectrics for novel lasers This talk will highlight recent progress in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) regrowth of laser structures that harness the contrasting properties of III–V semiconductors and dielectric materials to realize new device architectures. About the Speaker: Minjoo Larry Lee received his Bachelor’s degree from Brown University and his …
Events at UCFTitle: Inverse designed, densely integrated classical and quantum photonics Abstract: Recent breakthroughs in photonics design, along with new nanofabrication approaches and heterogeneous integration play crucial roles in building photonics for applications including optical interconnects and quantum technologies. This design breakthrough is named photonic inverse design, and refers to efficiently searching through the space of all possible photonic device geometries, within fabrication …
