After reaching 26 years of contributions in quantum optics and atomic physics, our group has gathered resources and expertise to follow the efforts in these research areas in their applications in quantum information and extreme measurements. Our present proposal will therefore stretch over different subjects in the field. We will investigate the creation of quantum entangled networks in …
Quantum information science (QIS), initially an application of quantum physics, is now a research field in and of itself. A principal component of QIS is quantum computing (QC), which offers exponential speedup of certain computations, with applications ranging from cryptography to modeling of new molecules or materials with perspectives of tremendous impact to the society. Under this sce…
Studies in quantum information using discrete or continuous variables of the electromagnetic field imply in the productions and control of quantum states of light, as well as the storage of these states in matter, eventually allowing the process of information using the principles of quantum mechanics. The final goal is achieving superior information processing capacity, solving problems …
Quantum Information Science attracts considerable attention owing to its fundamental character, on the one hand, since information is physical, meaning that physical systems are needed to store, process, and transmit it; and, on the other hand, to the potential technological applications. Since present-day computing is based on binary logic, it is natural to search for extensions in discr…

We propose a method to convert quantum states of the electromagnetic field between different wavelengths, by using entangled beams from parametric down conversion in an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The OPO is pumped at 532 nm, giving rise to a bright beam (~ mW) resonant with D1 line of Rb atoms. The idler beam, at 1608 nm, is within the L band in telecom, suitable for long distan…
Parametric amplification is a process on which we can obtain light with different quantum properties: entanglement and squeezed light. We propose to develop this type of light source using parametric amplifiers in atomic vapors based on four wave mixing. The tuneble gain of this type of system makes it a versatile tool for its implementation in three areas: entangled states networks, mag…
The student will have both theoretical and experimental activities to complement his academic formation and prepare him to a good understanding of the physical problems involveld. The experiments with atoms involve handeling diode lasers, with extended cavities, as well as Ti:Saffire lasers with sofisticated ring cavities. Some of the important activities the student will perform are the …

Optical systems are thoroughly investigated as platforms for the realization of information science tasks. The group led by Prof. Michal Lipson has pioneered nanophotonics on silicon chips, demonstrating ultrafast modulation, light confinement in very small volumes, and nonlinear optics on-chip. Our group, on the other hand, has been investigating quantum optics effects for the generation…
