The Goal of our work
Quantum information processing offers the prospect of an entirely new computing paradigm. Information can, in theory, be stored as quantum states and then processed with new computing algorithms that rely on quantum mechanics, rather than the classical operations that underpin current computation techniques.
We look at techniques that map quantum states between light and atoms. Atoms can potentially store quantum information in a stable manner, while light allows fast transport of quantum information.
Our experiments investigate the quantum properties of atom-light interactions.. Good understanding and control of these interactions is essential to realise a quantum atom-optics based quantum information system.
Our research program is a part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Atom Optics (ACQAO).
