Quantum and atom optics

申请人领导着一群非常成功的年轻研究人员，在量子光学领域取得了国际知名的工作。通过光学和原子系统中的量子信息概念，光子学技术现在正处于充分利用量子力学优势的边缘。澳大利亚国立大学小组的实验可以为光子学工业提供新的应用，特别是在通信、传感和显微镜方面。拟议的工作预计将在澳大利亚科学处于研究前沿和国际需求不断上升的领域创造基础研究和未来的商业机会。

The applicant leads a highly successful group of young investigators, achieving internationally acclaimed work in quantum optics. Photonics technology is now at the brink of using the full advantage of quantum mechanics, through the concept of quantum information in optical and atomic systems. The experiments at the ANU group can provide new applications to the photonics industry, in particular in communication, sensing and microscopy. The proposed work is expected to create fundamental research and generate future commercial opportunities in an area where Australian science is at the leading edge of research and the international demand is rising.
