Theory and Experiment

Research Focus: Hybrid Simulation Techniques for Experimental QKD , Hybrid Quantum - Digital Cryptography Schemes & Quantum Internet

Our goal in the Centre for Quantum Photonics is to explore fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics, as well as work towards future photonic quantum technologies by generating, manipulating and measuring single photons as well as the quantum systems that emit these photons, with a focus on scalable integrated optics devices.

Lead by Prof. Jeremy O'Brien, the Centre spans the School of Physics, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and the Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information, at the University of Bristol, UK.

Our group performs researches, both experimental and theoretical, devoted to the investigation of entanglement in quantum mechanics and its application to quantum technologies, as quantum information processing and quantum metrology.

More in detail, many experiments based on the use of entangled pairs of photons have been performed, or are on realisation, using the eight laboratories of "Carlo Novero lab" (devoted to the memory of Carlo Novero who began this activity at IEN). Among them:

ICMM, International center for Mathematical Modeling
in physics, engineering and cognitive sciences

Directions of research at the ICMM :

Quantum computation (QC) holds out tremendous promise for efficiently solving some of the most difficult problems in computational science, such as integer factorization, discrete logarithms, and quantum modeling that are intractable on any present or future conventional computer. In addition, quantum cryptography(QKD) is considered the most powerful data encryption scheme ever developed and its codes are, by all indications, virtually unbreakable.

The Centre for Quantum technology is a Research Group at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa. The Centre is on the Westville Campus

The Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) brings together leading quantum scientists from the Department of Physics of the University of Maryland (UMD), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS). Each institution brings to JQI major experimental and theoretical research programs that are dedicated to the goals of controlling and exploiting quantum systems.

JQI's objectives are to:

My group explanation is written in the following. The tentative website is http://qm.ims.ac.jp/
Honestly speaking, I am looking for the ultimate goal on my research career. The Nature knows many interesting problems but unfortunately we have not yet analyzed for any physical systems. Therefore, I have to make "new" and "interesting" problems inside the Nature. Now, I am continuing the following projects;
