Schr dinger s Rainbow: The Renaissance in Quantum Optical Interferometry

Over the past 20 years bright sources of entangled photons have led to a renaissance in quantum optical interferometry These photon sources have been used to test the foundations of quantum mechanics and implement some of the spooky ideas associated with quantum entanglement such as quantum teleportation quantum cryptography quantum lithography quantum computing logic gates and sub shot noise optical interferometers I will discuss some of these advances and the unification of optical quantum imaging metrology and information processing Prof Dowling is a pioneer in the field of quantum information and technology and is well recognized as a leading persona in the field Some of you may be interested in his book: Schr dinger s Killer App: Race to Build the World s First Quantum Computer Information about Prof Dowling: http: en wikipedia org wiki Jonathan Dowling Prof Dowling s webpage: http: phys lsu edu jdowling
