Abstract

Optics is an essential backbone of quantum information science (QIS). Infusing QIS in the optics curriculum is much needed, but challenging. We report an approach transitioning from classical matrix optics to qubits and quantum gates.

Quantum information science (QIS) is a new field of science and technology, combining and drawing on the disciplines of physical science, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. QIS aims to understand how certain fundamental principles of physics discovered early in the 20th century can be harnessed to dramatically improve the acquisition, transmission, and processing of information. The exciting scientific opportunities offered by QIS are attracting the interest of the growing community of scientists and engineers, and are promoting unprecedented interactions across traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Solid state optical quantum memories

Hugues de Riedmatten

Quantum information science (QIS) aims at controlling quantum coherence effects in light and matter in order to enable new information processing capabilities that are not possible with classical resources. Quantum information can be encoded in photons that are used as flying quantum bits that can be sent over long distances, and in atoms that are used as stationary quantum bits to store and process the information. The efficient transfer of quantum information between single photons and atomic systems is an important requirement for QIS. It enables the realization of a quantum memory for light, which is required for many applications in QIS. In particular, it is necessary for scalable implementations of quantum information networks. It is also a crucial element of quantum repeaters that have been proposed to overcome losses in the transport of photonic quantum information over long distances.

Undergraduate Research in Quantum Information Science

David W. Lyons

Quantum Information Science (QIS) is an interdisciplinary field involving mathematics, computer science, and physics. Appealing aspects include an abundance of accessible open problems, active interest and support from government and industry, and an energetic, open, and collaborative international research culture. We describe our student–faculty joint work in QIS that has led to many student co-authored papers in research journals. We address program structure and funding, and describe the work performed by our students.

A Curriculum of Table-Top Quantum Optics Experiments to Teach Quantum Physics

Enrique J. Galvez

Abstract The rise of quantum information as a viable technology requires appropriate instructional curricula for preparing a future workforce. Key concepts that are the basis of quantum information involve fundamentals of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, entanglement and measurement. To complement modern initiatives to teach quantum physics to the emerging workforce, lab experiences are needed. We have developed a curriculum of quantum optics experiments to teach quantum mechanics fundamentals and quantum algebra. These laboratories provide hands-on experimentation of optical components on a table-top. We have also created curricular materials, manuals, tutorials, parts and price lists for instructors. Automation of the apparatus offers the flexibility of using the apparatus remotely and for giving access to a greater number of students with a single setup.
