Structured Waves and Quantum Communication
EF 2024-25
Résumé
Dr. Karimi's Tier 1 CRC research program focuses on utilising Structured Quantum Waves for quantum communication, simulation, and sensing. The program includes three main objectives. Firstly, designing advanced liquid crystal and dielectric devices that can rapidly and precisely generate and accurately detect quantum states of light. These developments will strengthen free-space and underwater quantum cryptographic channels, while also allowing for the simulating of complex quantum systems. Moreover, the program will explore the use of structured quantum waves in satellite quantum communications, and other unexplored physics, with the goal of advancing Canada's secure network infrastructure.
