- Full Description
-
The experimental physics group at the German Technical University has in depth expertise in the fields of photonics, quantum optics, laser spectroscopy and is interested in joint projects with European academic or commercial partners in the area of ultrafast quantum optics and nanophotonics, e.g. in information and communication technology, to apply for grants in the upcoming EU calls.
The main activity of the group involves developing quantum optical measurement techniques such as measuring photon number noise or phase space distributions. A strong focus is on speeding up the measurements and the data analysis so that real-time data acquisition and feedback become possible. Real-time quantum optical measurements have significant application potential in spectroscopy, particle size determination, materials science, photonics and quantum communication.
They would like to carry out a project to establish real-time quantum optical measurements for concrete applications in material analysis, analysis of optical signals, quantum random number generation or similar topics. As such, the group is seeking to form consortia to develop cutting edge in-situ materials analysis protocols, dynamic light scattering, real-time quantum light field analysis tools or high-entropy quantum random number generators.
Depending on the target application, the university is looking for academic or corporate partners that work on system integration and high-speed electronic devices, material science, particle size measurements via dynamic light scattering, real-time electronics, neural networks, predictive maintenance and simulations.
At the hardware and software level the research group is open to collaborate with any partner who is interested in realizing ultrafast homodyne detection in a certain wavelength range of interest, system integration or realizing real-time adaptive feedback and real-time data analysis.
At the application level, the university seeks collaborations with academic or corporate to utilize quantum noise properties of light fields as benchmarks in their applications. This may, e.g., include in-situ material testing, on-chip testing of optical devices or particle size monitoring through dynamic light scattering. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The research group has pioneered cutting edge ultrafast continuous-variable quantum-optical detection techniques, e.g. by demonstrating of kHz-rate g(2)-measurements in the visible spectral range – orders of magnitude faster than what common Hanbury Brown-Twiss measurements can achieve.
The research works demonstrated the high application potential of our detection techniques for quantum technologies by rigorous benchmarking of the quantum coherence of light fields or identifying security threats arising through side-information in quantum random number generators.
The standout benefit of the developed quantum technologies is the possibility to perform real-time data acquisition and possibly also adaptive feedback based on the quantum noise of light fields, which is useful in any field, where the light field noise carries information, such as molecular particle size measurements or on-chip testing of semiconductor light sources. - Stage of Development
