Quantum Optics Seminar by Yunhong Ding

Quantum photonic technologies, where information is encoded in quantum bits, so called qubits, and carried by single photons, are expected to be orders of magnitude faster at solving certain problems than conventional computers. Tremendous global effort has been put for quantum photonics research, for example unconditionally secure quantum communication, Boson sampling towards the quantum supremacy, quantum simulation of physical and biochemical systems, and quantum computing for big-number Shor factorization. And photonics integration technology is expected to play a critical role towards these quantum photonic technologies. Here we will present the latest research on quantum photonics technologies based on silicon photonics carried out in the DNRF CoE: Silicon Photonics for Optical Communication (SPOC), including high-dimensional quantum key distribution, pure photon pair source on silicon, high dimensional quantum entanglement manipulation on silicon, and quantum teleportation.
