(English) Quantum memories are devices that are able to store photonic quantum states and entanglement. Future quantum networks, which could enhance cybersecurity through quantum key distribution, improve ...
Mazzinghi, Chiara (Date of defense: 2023-07-26)
(English) In this work we propose and demonstrate cavity-enhanced polarization rotation to detect magnetic effects in transparent media with greater sensitivity at equal optical disturbance to the atomic ...
Rakonjac, Jelena Velibor (Date of defense: 2023-06-26)
(English) Future networks for quantum communication will require a new form of technology in order to operate over long distances. The no-cloning theorem precludes the use of amplification, so quantum ...
Grava, Stefano (Date of defense: 2022-10-28)
(English) The interface between light and cold atomic ensembles is a fundamental platform to unravel the quantum world and develop quantum technological applications. Its success relies on the simple ...
Rodríguez Echarri, Álvaro (Date of defense: 2022-12-12)
(English) The fundamental science and technological applications of light-matter interactions on nanometer length scales form the field of study known as nanophotonics. Explorations in nanophotonics ...
Jiménez Machado, Gerard (Date of defense: 2022-12-02)
(English) This thesis, mostly experimental, is based on two fundamental pillars: nonlinear interferometers and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Nonlinear interferometers are a class of interferometers ...
