Résumé
Quantum technology will spark the next technological revolution that yields ultra-fast computers, absolutely secure communicators, unprecedentedly sensitive sensors, and many more. However, building large-scale quantum devices with the current method, which is based on two-level systems, is challenging. In my research, I will study another type of quantum technology: those built with infinite-level (bosonic) systems. Such system is everywhere (light, trapped atoms, etc), can store plenty of information, and can be readily built to a large scale. I will explore how we can build a bosonic device with fewer errors and how it can be used to benefit daily life.
