| Abstract: | Recent advances in experimental nonlinear quantum optics, at the single photon and single atom level, motivate the development of new theoretical frameworks and applications. In this talk, I will show that it is possible to engineer interactions between photons so that one can build a deterministic optical quantum computer, solving a ten year old problem in quantum optics. Then I will discuss the development of a formalism that enables one to examine properties of the light-matter interaction in the deep quantum regime. This formalism broadly applicable, e.g. it has been used to design single-photon detectors at microwave frequencies. Finally, I will show how experimentally accessible nonlinearities can motivate the development of a new class of continuous-variable quantum error correcting codes. | |
