Theory and Experiment

The potential of QIPC in Poland led to a decision to create on 29-th June 2007 National Quantum Information Centre of Gdańsk - a joint research unit formed together by University of Gdańsk, Polish Academy of Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Lodz University, Jagiellonian University, Adam Mickiewicz University, Technical University of Gdańsk and Wroclaw University (http://www.kcik.univ.gda.pl).

Four faculty members in theoretical quantum optics and quantum information: Prof Steve Barnett, Dr John Jeffers, Dr Daniel Oi, Dr Shashank Virmani.

Cold atoms group headed by Prof Erling Riis.

The silicon quantum computing group involves both experiments and theory related to silicon quantum dot spin qubits. The dots are fabricated in top-gated silicon-germanium heterostructures, grown and measured in our laboratory. Areas of interest include quantum information, quantum dot transport and coherence, and valley splitting. PIs include Mark Eriksson, Max Lagally, Don Savage, Robert Blick, Susan Coppersmith, Robert Joynt, and Mark Friesen.

We are the newly founded group at Data Storage Institute at Agency for Science and Research. Our main focus is generation and application of nonclassical light to quantum information processing with a special interest to broader applications.
