Podcasts about quantum optics

Welcome to the 83rd episode of Decode Quantum, the quantum podcast where we like to get in depth in quantum science and technology, this time with Wilhelm Kaenders, the president and CTO of Toptica. Wilhelm Kaenders is the co-founder of Toptica, because he had one other co-founder. He is now its president and CTO. The company is a worldwide leader in lasers used in mostly the academic world, but also in some parts of the industry. Wilhelm did his PhD in quantum physics at the Institute of Quantum Optics in Hanover, in the group of Dieter Meschede. He was behind the technology of the group of Theodor Hänsch at the Max Planck Institute, who became the laureate of the Nobel Prize in physics exactly 20 years ago, 2005. He pioneered the business of tunable diode laser technology and contributed to the development of the technology of the optical frequency comb. He created Toptica in 1998, which is probably one of the oldest companies in the enabling tech for quantum technology. https://www.oezratty.net/wordpress/2025/decode-quantum-with-wilhelm-kaenders-from-toptica

The world of quantum technology is not some science fiction flight of fantasy, it is an exciting field of science which is turning into a rapidly growing engineering sector. You might not know it but you can already buy quantum-dot TVs and mobile phones with quantum-enhanced encryption. Quantum technologies are poised to expand the realm of engineering in ways that were unthinkable until just a decade ago.         Dr Elizabeth Eso aligning an optical system to experimentally demonstrate a time-bin quantum key distribution system. Credit: Chris Watt Photography   Quantum engineering is the development of technology that exploits the laws of quantum mechanics (the behaviour of nature at and below the scale of atoms), using it as a toolbox for the development of quantum technologies, such as quantum sensors or quantum computers. There are many devices available which rely on quantum mechanical effects such as medicine, optical communication, high-speed internet, and high-performance computing, just to mention a few examples.       An IBM engineer adjusting on one of the company's quantum computers. Credit: Connie Zhou for IBM   After the technological advances that brought us lasers, MRI imagers and transistors, a second wave of quantum technologies is expected to impact society in a similar way. These new technologies will make use of quantum coherence (the regular and predictable behaviour of atoms), building on the progress achieved in the last century, to enable us to have greater control of these atomic-scale systems.   The burgeoning quantum industry requires a quantum-literate workforce; something that is in short supply at the moment. Those working in the field mainly come from either a physics or engineering background and have acquired their ”quantum engineering skills” by experience. Many of the companies that could benefit from quantum technologies already have a strong presence here in the UK, including those involved in new materials, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, energy, aerospace, defence and financial services, but what other application will we as engineers be able to use quantum technologies for?       An IBM engineer working on the refrigerator casing inside of which the company plans to install a 1 million-qubit quantum computer by 2030.

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of Discover Daily, hosts Alex and Sienna explore the frontiers of science and technology, from the lingering dangers of World War II bombs to the groundbreaking mapping of a fruit fly's brain. The episode kicks off with a startling incident at Miyazaki Airport in Japan, where a 500-pound U.S. bomb from World War II unexpectedly detonated, creating a large crater and disrupting flights. This event highlights the ongoing challenges Japan faces in dealing with unexploded ordnance, even decades after the war's end.Next, the hosts dive into a monumental achievement in neuroscience - the creation of the first complete map of an adult fruit fly brain. This comprehensive "connectome" reveals the intricate connections between nearly 140,000 neurons and offers unprecedented insights into complex brain function. While fruit flies may seem an unlikely subject, their genetic similarities to humans make them invaluable models for studying neurological disorders and developing targeted therapies.The episode concludes with a mind-boggling discovery in quantum physics that challenges our understanding of time itself. Scientists have found evidence that under certain conditions, photons can seemingly spend a "negative amount of time" passing through a cloud of ultracold atoms. This counterintuitive phenomenon, which appears to show light exiting a material before fully entering it, sheds new light on the bizarre world of quantum mechanics and the fundamental nature of time. Join Alex and Sienna as they unravel these fascinating stories and explore their profound implications for our understanding of the universe.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/evidence-of-negative-time-Ut987S07Rl2p3ryWJL_PigPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Quantum optics is an extremely rich and diverse field with applications ranging from super fast computers (quantum computers) to establishing a zero-failure communication system! Forming one of the most sought after fields in natural science in the present world to deepen our understanding of the universe, it holds immense potential of answering the long pressing big questions in fundamental physics, and beyond. In our first episode of the fifth season of Zeroing In, we converse with a brilliant physicist whose contributions to this field essentially laid the foundations, while the research area was taking shape in the latter half of the 20th century. Our guest for this conversation, Prof. Rupamanjari Ghosh, completed her Ph.D. from the University of Rochester, New York, where among her other pioneering ideas, her thesis was based on exploring the ‘Non-classical effects in the interference of two photons' with Prof. Leonard Mandel, widely known as one of the founding fathers of the field of Quantum Optics. Prof. Ghosh moved back to India as a professor at JNU, Delhi where she worked for the major part of her academic career. Subsequently, she moved to Shiv Nadar University as the Founding Director of Natural Sciences and later took over as the Vice Chancellor at the SNU. She has also contributed immensely to nation building over the years as an all rounded-researcher and teacher in academia, as well as in very significant capacities as a policy maker at the apex institutions and organisations such as NCERT, DST, UGC and CSIR, among others, throughout her career. In this first of the two part conversation with Prof. Ghosh, we discussed at length about the making of a scientist, and life in science. Diving deep, Prof. Ghosh takes us along the insightful journey of how the scientific landscape spanned in the 1980s, and through quintessential anecdotes, shares some beautiful insights from her starting years as a doctoral student, lending a closer view to a lifetime of pursuing brilliance while discovering and nurturing dexterity ranging wide across the experimental and theoretical fields of quantum optics, laser physics, non-linear optics and quantum information. Experience this rich conversation filled with beautiful insights and fascinating anecdotes on Spotify or Apple podcast or directly on our website: www.zeroingin.org Stay tuned for the second half of this conversation, coming out in the following week! Season theme song by Shaun Ethan C. Phangcho and Krishnabh Thengal.

Perhaps it is only fair to open this marveling season of our journey from Atoms to Planets with a conversation where we dive into the quantum world! When we talk about interference, we consider light as a wave, while in the photoelectric effect, Einstein very revolutionarily proposed the idea of photons as particles. Sitting right in between, begs the question — how would you explain the interference of two photons! One of the most pioneering experiments that also became a pivotal event in the story of Quantum Optics, was conceptualised and undertaken during the doctoral thesis of our guest for this episode— a fitting start to a journey studded with brilliant ideas all along—, for an extremely talented physicist and a charming human all around— Prof. Rupamanjari Ghosh. Stay tuned for a conversation amalgamating a scientific breakthrough and personal anecdotes from a pioneering physicist!

Quantum computing is a tough subject to explain and discuss. As Niels Bohr put it, “Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it”. Richard Feynman helpfully added, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics”.Quantum computing employs the weird properties of quantum mechanics like superposition and entanglement. Classical computing uses binary digits, or bits, which are either on or off. Quantum computing uses qubits, which can be both on and off at the same time, and this characteristic somehow makes them enormously more computationally powerful.Co-hosts Calum and David knew that to address this important but difficult subject, we needed an absolute expert, who was capable of explaining it in lay terms. When Calum heard Dr Ignacio Cirac give a talk on the subject in Madrid last month, he knew we had found our man.Ignacio is director of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Germany, and holds honorary and visiting professorships pretty much everywhere that serious work is done on quantum physics. He has done seminal work on the trapped ion approach to quantum computing and several other aspects of the field, and has published almost 500 papers in prestigious journals. He is spoken of as a possible Nobel Prize winner.Topics discussed in this conversation include:*) A brief history of quantum computing (QC) from the 1990s to the present*) The kinds of computation where QC can out-perform classical computers*) Likely timescales for further progress in the field*) Potential quantum analogies of Moore's Law*) Physical qubits contrasted with logical qubits*) Reasons why errors often arise with qubits - and approaches to reducing these errors*) Different approaches to the hardware platforms of QC - and which are most likely to prove successful*) Ways in which academia can compete with (and complement) large technology companies*) The significance of "quantum supremacy" or "quantum advantage": what has been achieved already, and what might be achieved in the future*) The risks of a forthcoming "quantum computing winter", similar to the AI winters in which funding was reduced*) Other comparisons and connections between AI and QC*) The case for keeping an open mind, and for supporting diverse approaches, regarding QC platforms*) Assessing the threats posed by Shor's algorithm and fault-tolerant QC*) Why companies should already be considering changing the encryption systems that are intended to keep their data secure*) Advice on how companies can build and manage in-house "quantum teams"Music: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain DeclarationSelected follow-up reading:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Ignacio_Cirac_Sasturainhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_atom

How has the quantum revolution allowed researchers a new understanding of light? By examining the properties and behavior of light, discoveries like gravity waves can be found. Press play to learn: How quantum optics function Why pairs of photons are quantum correlated What the signal to noise ratio signifies Ryan T. Glasser, Ph.D., an Associate Professor at Tulane EDU, School of Science & Engineering, stops by to share his work with quantum optics and discusses what this work may hold for the future. A higher-quality image can be gained by quantizing light in a specific way, allowing a more extended range for optics to be used effectively. By quantum correlating the pairs of photons, accurate measurements, even beyond lasers, can be created. By eliminating "noise" in calculations using quantum optics, the data collected from the experiment can be much more dependable. This is in part the quality of quantum optics that allowed a team of researchers to earn a Nobel prize for discovering gravity waves. To learn more, visit https://glasser.tulane.edu.

This week on 5.6.7.EIGHT, Aleksandra speaks with Dr. Merritt Moore — an absolutely remarkable woman who is both a professional ballet dancer and a quantum physicist. Dr. Moore holds a degree in Physics from Harvard University and a PhD in Quantum Optics from the University of Oxford and combines her expertise as a quantum physicist and professional ballet dancer throughout her creative practice. Dr. Moore has also been featured on the Forbes 30 under 30 in Arts and Culture and has spoken at the Forbes Women’s Summit. Most recently, Dr. Moore has been honored as an artist-in-residence at the Harvard ArtLab, where she joyfully experiments with creativity. Dr. Moore is one of the most remarkable podcast guests to date, and on the podcast, she and Aleksandra only scratch the surface on her incredible journey in dance. However, through the conversation, Dr. Moore discusses how all of her accomplishments stemmed from overcoming doubters in her earliest dancing days and ultimately created one of the most unique ballet careers of all time.   Moving Quotes: “Both the right brain and the left brain are extremely necessary for both ballet and physics.

Quantum Physics - sounds like it's straight out of a sci-fi movie, right? And, honestly... maybe it is! Or maybe it isn't... or maybe it's both! Philip Taranto (@tarantophilip) explains to me what this weird word "Quantum" actually means, how quantum physics and philosophical questions overlap, and how exciting new technologies are being developed based on this physical theory.Phil is a PhD student in the group of Marcus Huber at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Vienna. For more information about Nice to Know, follow me on Twitter @RobynSciences or email nicetoknowthepodcast@gmail.com.This series was made with the support of the Marie Curie Alumni Association.

Christina Knapp, Gavin Brennen, and Rovin Blume-Kohout, each raised in Alaska, explain Quantum Information Science and their research challenges. What is quantum information science? · At low temperatures and small system sizes, nature acts very differently than our everyday life would indicate. For instance, particles can act probabilistically with their behavior changing dramatically if they are being observed. · Furthermore, particles can be highly correlated with each other so that a measurement of one particle can instantaneously affect a different particle far away. · The field of quantum information science seeks to understand how these properties can be used to create new technologies, such as quantum computers or secure communication. · This subject is of broad interest to academic groups, government agencies, and the technology industry, and spans the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Christina Knapp was born and raised in Anchorage, and graduated from East High School in 2009. She then went to Williams College in Massachusetts, where she planned to study English or history, but switched to physics and math after being introduced to the strange and wonderful world of quantum physics. She finished her PhD in physics in June at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and will move to Caltech in the fall for a postdoc. Her research focuses on how to use exotic phases of matter to build a quantum computer that is resilient to noise. Much of her work is done in collaboration with Microsoft Station Q, a Microsoft research group dedicated to building what is known as a topological quantum computer. Gavin Brennen grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska and graduated from UAF with a degree in physics. He went on to complete a PhD in quantum information at the University of New Mexico with a thesis proposing one of the first quantum computer architectures in what is known as an optical lattice. Afterward he worked as a post-doc at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland and a senior scientist position at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Innsbruck Austria. In 2007, Gavin moved to Macquarie University, Sydney Australia where he is currently a Professor of Physics and director of the Centre for Quantum Engineering. His interests range from how to build quantum computers and quantum enhanced sensors, to simulations of quantum field theory and quantum security for cryptocurrencies. Robin Blume-Kohout was born on a kitchen table in the Bush, about 25 miles north of the village of Tanana. After graduating from Fairbanks’s Lathrop H.S. in 1994, he went to Kenyon College in Ohio, where he majored in physics and English, swam competitively, and graduated in 1998. He earned a Ph.D. in physics from UC-Berkeley in 2005 for research at Los Alamos National Lab on how decoherence lets classical reality emerge from quantum physics. After postdoctoral fellowships at Caltech, the Perimeter Institute, and Los Alamos (again), he joined Sandia National Labs (Albuquerque, NM) as a staff scientist. Today, Robin is the principal investigator for Sandia’s Quantum Performance Laboratory and an associate research professor at the University of New Mexico. He tries to measure how well quantum computers work, and why they fail. He lives in upstate New York with his wife and daughter, commutes a really long way to work, and tries to get back to his cabin in the Bush at least once a year to saw boards and fix the roof.

Jayadev Vijayan develops a Fermi quantum gas microscope in the Quantum Optics group in Munich. He prepares an ordered lattice with one atom per site, and then dopes it by adding another atom into the system. This allows him to observe how doping affects the spin ordering of the gas. They claim their images reveal polarons - a quasi-particle important to understanding high-temperature superconductivity. Joannis Koepsell, Jayadev Vijayan, Pimonpan Sompet, Fabian Grusdt, Timon A.

Physics Colloquium 12th June 2015 delivered by Professer Swapan Chattopadhyay The frontier of beam physics and accelerator science is advanced via developments in material and microwave superconductivity, integrable and near-integrable nonlinear dynamics, advanced phase-space control techniques, and various novel concepts of plasmas, materials, lasers and quantum optics. We will touch upon some of the emerging ideas of “quantum-degenerate” particle and light beams, nonlinear integrable dissipative systems, laboratory-based free-electron lasers and single-electron quantum optics for various photon science, atomic, molecular and astro-particle physics “laboratory-based” experiments. These will be contrasted with the current conception of “large-scale” potential future particle colliders and high intensity proton accelerators for exploring the subatomic world beyond our current state of understanding.

(June 19, 2012) Nina Rohringer discusses recent research as she describes how SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) was used to ultimately pump an atomic X-ray laser.

For Munich physicist Ferenc Krausz, one second lasts half an eternity. For him, the measure of all things is the attosecond; a number with 17 zeros after the decimal point. Professor Krausz is the founder of attosecond physics, which explores the world of electrons. He is professor at the LMU Department of Physics and director of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics.
