The general vision of my research is implementing light as the principal physical medium for quantum information processing. This requires overcoming a number of challenges: in particular, developing the techniques of storing the quantum information carried by light and arranging controlled interaction of microscopic optical states with each other. These tasks can be solved by interfacing the quantum light fields with another quantum object, cold atomic ensembles, in settings involving high-finnesse optical cavities and tapered optical nanofibers. If successful, the planned research will have a vast range of applications ranging from secure communication channels and ultraprecise measurements to conceptually novel microscopy for biological purposes.

我的研究的总体愿景是实现光作为量子信息处理的主要物理介质。这需要克服许多挑战：特别是，开发存储光携带的量子信息的技术，并安排微观光学状态相互之间的受控相互作用。这些任务可以通过将量子光场与另一个量子对象（冷原子系综）在涉及高finnesse光学腔和锥形光学纳米纤维的设置中进行接口来解决。如果成功，计划中的研究将有广泛的应用范围，从安全的通信渠道和超精密测量到用于生物目的的概念新颖的显微镜。
