Alexander Lvovsky, Workshop on: QUANTUM INFORMATION PROCESSING FOR QUANTUM COMMUNICATIONS

Workshop on QUANTUM INFORMATION PROCESSING AND QUANTUM COMMUNICATIONS
Quantum Information Processing and Quantum Communications Experiments with nonclassical light at the interface of discrete and continuous variables
Aula di dottorato, Giovedì 20 Novembre ore 15
	ALEXANDER LVOVSKY, Universität Konstanz
>VITAE: Alexander Lvovsky is the group leader of the Laboratory of Quantum-optical information technology of Fachbereich Physik, Universität Konstanz, Germany, were he conducts experiments on quantum information technology with light and atoms. Ph. D. in Physics, Columbia University, NewYork, and formerly postdoc at University of California, Berkeley, Alexander Lvovsky has previously conducted experimental studies of coherent (superradiant) optical phenomena, such as photon echoes, superfluorescence, harmonic generation. He has also discovered and investigated the phenomena of omnidirectional yoked superfluorescence and superfluorescent photon echo.
Abstract
	A series of experiments will be presented which explore the potential of nonclassical states of the electromagnetic field, in particular the single-photon state, for quantum information technology applications. A specific emphasis is put on the application of continuous-variable quantumstate characterization techniques to traditionally discrete-variable quantum states.
