Nonclassical Effects in Quantum Optics
Abstract
Several experimental and theoretical investigations in quantum optics were performed under this grant, with potential applications for improved gyroscope performance, more accurate clock synchronization, and quantum communications and information processing. A controlled-NOT quantum logic gate for single photons was experimentally demonstrated for the first time. Several methods for generating nonclassical states of light as needed for various applications were investigated theoretically. Methods for improved single-photon detection efficiency were demonstrated experimentally and investigated theoretically.
