Graduate student Farid Kahlor gave a talk on "Quantum Sensing of Photonic Spin Density Using a Single Spin Qubit" at the 2021 OSA Imaging and Applied Optics Congress. You can read more about it in this Arxiv version of the paper.

Researchers have detected the rolling movement of a nano-acoustic wave predicted by the famous physicist and Nobel prize winner Lord Rayleigh in 1885. This phenomenon can find applications in acoustic quantum technologies or in so-called “phononic” components, which are used to control the...

Congratulations to Yifan and Chinmay on their paper, “Broadband circularly polarized thermal radiation from magnetic Weyl semimetals” being published in Optical Materials Express. The paper demonstrates that a planar slab made of magnetic Weyl semimetal (a class of topological materials) can emit...

Purdue researchers have developed a “topological circulator” that may improve how information is routed and processed on a chip. Graphene has been the focus of intense research in both academic and industrial settings due to its unique electrical conduction properties. As the thinnest material known...

To become more pervasive in daily life, quantum technology needs to better detect single particles of light, called photons, carrying quantum information. The problem is that each photon is a very weak signal, making it difficult for measurement devices to efficiently detect them. Purdue University engineers have proposed a new quantum resource that could help design the next generation of single-photon detectors.

Congratulations to Mohammad Ali Javidian on the acceptance of an abstract about Quantum Causal Inference: An Entropic Approach which was presented virtually at the Causal Inference Workshop at UAI on July 30th, 2021

Congratulations to Farhad on his paper “Ultrafast electron cycloids driven by the transverse spin of a surface acoustic wave” which was published in Science Advances. Check out the publication in Science Advances .

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have emerged as promising room-temperature quantum sensors for probing condensed matter phenomena ranging from spin liquids, two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials, and magnons to hydrodynamic flow of current. Here we propose and demonstrate that the...

Congratulations to Ashwin for winning the Emil Wolf best student paper prize at Frontiers of Optics 2021. His research is related to dipole-dipole interactions in nanophotonics. These interactions occur between atoms or molecules and are responsible for phenomena like Van Der Waals forces - think...

Professor Zubin Jacob has been elected as one of the Optica (formerly OSA) 2022 Fellows Class. He is among 106 new fellows from 24 countries who were selected based on several factors, including distinguished contributions to education, research, engineering, business, and serving the community...
