Manipulation of quantum states of light is important, but difficult problem, especially on-chip. Active devices are a particularly important problem that can be addressed using technologies present in our group, in collaboration with the ultrafast quantum optics and optical metrology group in Oxford. The goal of this project would be to integrate a fast modulator design with existing quantum light devices in UV- written waveguides on chip, in order to allow for on-the-fly adaptive measurement and control of quantum light. Historical approaches to fast quantum control have relied on large bulk optics and high voltages, while this studentship will focus on bringing those modulators on-chip using poled glass and organic polymer EOMs. This project will involve designing and optimising the EOMs themselves, as well as the fabrication process and integration into the existing quantum networks for any desired quantum operation to be performed. While this project is quantum-technology focussed, a background in quantum physics is by no means required: a student in electronics or engineering interested in quantum technology would do well to apply.

光量子态的操纵是一个重要而又困难的问题，特别是在片上。有源器件是一个特别重要的问题，可以使用我们小组的技术与牛津大学的超快量子光学和光学计量小组合作解决。该项目的目标是将快速调制器设计与现有的量子光器件集成在芯片上的UV写入波导中，以便允许对量子光进行动态自适应测量和控制。快速量子控制的历史方法依赖于大体积光学器件和高电压，而本研究将专注于使用极化玻璃和有机聚合物EOM将这些调制器带到芯片上。该项目将涉及设计和优化EOM本身，以及制造过程和集成到现有的量子网络中，以执行任何所需的量子操作。虽然这个项目是量子技术的重点，量子物理学的背景是不需要的：在电子或工程学的学生感兴趣的量子技术会做得很好申请。
