  2. 2. Correlation spectroscopy with epitaxial quantum dots : Single-photons alone in the dark

    Author : Lucas Schweickert; Val Zwiller; Klaus D. Jöns; Richard J. Warburton; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum dots; single--photons; indistinguishability; entanglement; Optik och fotonik; Optics and Photonics;

    Abstract : The advent of quantum computation promises exciting advances, not only in fields like medicine and metrology, but many industries that rely on parameter-heavy calculations or simulation of molecular interaction. At the same time Shor's algorithm for quantum computers presents a threat to current asymmetric encryption protocols used in everyday communication. READ MORE

  3. 3. Studies of acoustic waves, noise and charge pumping using single-electron devices

    Author : Martin Gustafsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; single-electron pump; single-electron transistor; surface acoustic wave; single-electron devices; charge pumping; TLF; SINIS turnstile; electrometer; two-level fluctuator; single-photon detector; noise; SAW; SET;

    Abstract : This thesis covers a range of experiments on single-electron devices, electrical circuits that utilize the discreetness of the electron charge. The Single-Electron Transistor (SET) is of special importance among these, being the most sensitive electrometer demonstrated, and sufficiently mature to serve as a building block in sensors and detectors for physical phenomena that can be transformed into charge signals.

  4. 4. Integrated Photonics for Quantum Optics

    Author : Samuel Gyger; Val Zwiller; Stephan Steinhauer; Ali W. Elshaari; Marijn A. M. Versteegh; Matthew D. Shaw; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; integrated photonics; single-photons; single-photon sources; quantum dots; single-photon detectors; SNSPD; integrerad fotonik; enstaka fotoner; enstaka fotonkällor; kvantprickar; enstaka fotondetektorer; SNSPDs; Optics and Photonics; Optik och fotonik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Quantum physics allows us a vision of Nature's forces that bind the world, all its seeds and sources. After decades of primarily scientific research, we've arrived at a stage in time where quantum technology can be applied to practical problems and add value outside the field. READ MORE

  5. 5. Creation and Detection of Single Photons

    Author : Hatim Azzouz; Mohamed Bourennane; Sergey Cherednichenko; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : A growing number of technologies employ quantum properties in order to produce solutions that surpass the performance of conventional devices, or to execute operations that are fundamentally impossible with classical systems alone. In the field of optical quantum information science, photons are utilized to encode, communicate and manipulate information, making them vitally important. READ MORE
