We are a research group from Griffith University working on the development of quantum technologies using integrated optics and trapped ions. We are part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology.
Our labs include a fabrication facility for the production of waveguides in lithium niobate and the first chip trap with integrated mirrors
We are walking the fine line between quantum optics and condensed matter physics, with the aim of employing ideas and algorithms from the forefront of quantum information theory to our sensor, an atom-sized defect in diamond. This defect, known also as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center, has several unique properties, making it an exceptional solid state, single-spin system.
We generate nonclassical (quantum) light from quantum dots, nonlinear crystals, photonic-crystal fibres.
We test this light for photon-number correlations and squeezing.
We use this light for quantum information and photonic technologies.
The Quantum Optics and Information Laboratory (QOIL), founded in 2006, is the home of Geoff Pryde’s research group.
We perform experiments with photons – single particles of light – to investigate quantum information science and to study the fundamental laws of quantum physics. Our work is directed at developing the next generation of information and measurement technologies, whilst revealing the nature of the quantum world.
The group studies atomic and molecular quantum systems with respect to their interactions on different levels of complexity. Of special importance is the application and extension of modern methods for the manipulation and quantum control to many-body quantum systems, in particular using coherent light. The systems under investigation range from highly excited Rydberg atoms over atomic and molecular quantum gases to molecular aggregates. The group develops technologies for trapping and cooling of neutral atoms as well as quantum-state sensitive diagnostics.
