CURRENT RESEARCH
The development of new technologies at scales approaching the quantum regime is driving new theoretical and experimental research on control in quantum systems. Quantum control finds an ideal application in quantum information processing (QIP), which promises to radically improve the acquisition, transmission, and processing of information.
The Quantum Engineering Group will explore methods to control physical systems that can deliver QIP devices (not only quantum computers but also simulators, measuring and communication devices, etc.), which exceed the capacities of the corresponding classical devices.
These ideas will be explored experimentally with a hybrid approach that combines ideas from quantum optics, mesoscopic physics, and magnetic resonance. Theoretical efforts will focus on investigation of the coherent control of open quantum systems and decoherence avoidance.
