Adaptive quantum optics

Welcome to the website of the Adaptive Quantum Optics (AQO) group

We investigate the physics of quantum light in multidimensional systems for applications in (quantum) information science and technology. On this website, you can find who we are, how to contact us, some info on our research, and our output.

Hair-thin endoscopes: Square is Better than Round

New nonlinear endoscopy method

AQO researchers Matthijs Velsink and Pepijn Pinkse together with Lyuba Amitonova from ARCNL & VU published a new method for creating an ultrashort temporal focus at a particular position at the output facet of a multimo…

Semi-random scattering of light

What is the exact path of light inside a highly scattering material like white paint? This is a question that is impossible to answer, as the particles inside the paint are distributed randomly. This, at the same time,…

OPTICAL QUANTUM ADVANTAGE WITHIN REACH FOR SPDC SOURCES

Fifty is a critical number for quantum computers capable of solving problems that ‘classic’ supercomputers cannot solve anymore. Proving ‘quantum supremacy’ requires at least 50 so-called ‘qubits’. For quantum computers…

QUANTUM KEY ESTABLISHMENT VIA A THICK GLASS FIBER
