The Structural Quantum Optics (SQO) group of Dr. Karimi focuses on the generation, detection and manipulation of the structured quantum waves, e.g. light and electron beams, and their applications in modern science. This involves manipulating and engineering waves' vectorial nature, intensity and phase distributions upon propagation, or in desired regions. Lying at the intersection of fundamental quantum physics and applied science, we expect important advances to emerge from such a novel, and not yet fully explored, research branch of physics. The SQO team is already well-recognized by the community as a world-class research group, as evidenced by their significant achievements, which are frequently highlighted by news outlets. During the next five years, we aim to: 1) design and fabricate of thin or ultra-thin liquid-crystal and/or plasmonic optical devices for tailoring the quantum/classical state of light, 2) design novel devices to perform quantum information protocols/quantum computations with structured photons, 3) design a novel platform for ultra-secure quantum communication (quantum key distribution) with structured photons, and 4) exploit fundamental tests of quantum physics with structured quantum waves including electron/ion beams.

卡里米博士的结构量子光学(SQO)小组专注于结构量子波的产生、检测和操作，例如光和电子束，以及它们在现代科学中的应用。这涉及到在传播时或在所需区域中操纵和设计波的矢量性质、强度和相位分布。处于基础量子物理和应用科学的交叉点上，我们期待着从这样一个新的、尚未充分探索的物理学研究分支中出现重要的进展。SQO团队已经被社会公认为世界级的研究团队，他们的显著成就证明了这一点，这些成就经常被新闻媒体重点报道。在接下来的五年里，我们的目标是：1)设计和制造用于定制量子/经典光态的薄或超薄液晶和/或等离子光学器件；2)设计用于执行量子信息协议/量子计算的新型器件；3)设计用于结构光子超安全量子通信(量子密钥分发)的新型平台；以及4)利用结构量子波(包括电子/离子束)开展量子物理的基础测试。
