Spectral Engineering of Pulsed Quantum Light and Its Applications
Temporal modes of optical quantum pulses are a promising ressource for photonic quantum technologies. I will introduce the underlying mechanisms, discuss means for tailoring the temporal-mode structure of states and processes, and highlight recent applications.
About the Speaker
Dr. Benjamin Brecht received his doctorate from Paderborn University in 2014 for the development of the so-called quantum pulse gate. In 2015, he joined the Ultrafast Quantum Optics group of Prof Ian A. Walmley at the University of Oxford, where he worked on broadband quantum memories. He is one of the co-inventors of the ORCA memory. He returned to Paderborn University in 2018 to take on the role of group leader of the Quantum Networks Group in the Integrated Quantum Optics group led by Prof Christine Silberhorn. His current research covers the generation, manipulation, and application of pulsed broadband quantum light in quantum metrology and spectroscopy, communications and computing.
