Workshop on QUANTUM MEASUREMENTS AND OPERATIONS FOR CRIPTOGRAPHY AND INFORMATION PROCESSING
Quantum Measurements and Operations for Criptography and Information Processing
Engineered Entanglement in Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Measurement
aula 326 - Giovedì 19 Maggio, ore 11.00 >VITAE:
Alexander V. Sergienko is professor at the Department of Electrical &
Computer Engineering and at the Department of Physics at Boston University.
He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the Physics Department
of Moscow State University in 1981 and 1987, respectively. After spending
1990-1991 academic year at the University of Maryland College Park as
a Visiting Professor he joined the University of Maryland Baltimore County
as a Research Assistant Professor in 1991. In 1996 Prof. Sergienko has
joined the Faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at Boston University.
He is also a co-Director of the Quantum Imaging Laboratory at Boston University.
The power and high information capacity of entangled states
has been so far demonstrated in several areas of quantum communication
and quantum computing. We recently developed new techniques for precise
optical measurement in life sciences and optoelectronics that take advantage
of quantum entanglement and exceed traditional approaches both in resolution
and in the amount of obtained information about the system under evaluation.
We review our latest results in engineering special entangled-photon states
with particular spectral, spatial, and polarization characteristics that
enhance performance of quantum cryptography and such novel measurement
technologies as quantum optical coherence tomography and quantum ellipsometry.
