About us
By using quantum nature of light, it is predicted that we can drastically enhance the performance of information processing (Quantum Computer), secure communication (Quantum Cryptography) and even sensing (Quantum Metrology).
By using quantum nature of light, it is predicted that we can drastically enhance the performance of information processing (Quantum Computer), secure communication (Quantum Cryptography) and even sensing (Quantum Metrology).
Using those devices, we are constructing quantum optical systems and optical quantum circuits for quantum information processing, quantum metrology and quantum lithography. Our research topic also includes the generation and characterization of entangled photons, single molecular spectroscopy, and highly efficient single photon detectors.
