Structured Quantum Waves

FY 2023-24

Summary
Dr. Karimi¿s research program for his 2nd CRC term will be focused on Structured Quantum Waves, capable of enhancing quantum communication protocols, quantum simulators, and quantum sensing. Robust and compact devices will be designed to efficiently structure optical beams, increasing the transmission security and capacity of information ¿ key to establishing the first quantum network across Ottawa. These devices will also allow for the simulation of more complex quantum systems. Such techniques will be adopted to electron (and matter) beam shaping in order to develop a novel quantum microscope, capable of non-destructively probing very small samples at extremely short timescales.
