5. 授课老师介绍

Fabien Bretenaker is a senior researcher for the French National Center for Research (CNRS) and an adjunct professor at Ecole Normale Paris-Saclay. He is currently the head of the laboratory LuMIn in Paris-Saclay University. His PhD was about gyrolasers and laser physics. He is still working in these areas but also extended his activities on atomic physics, optical information processing and quantum technologies.

Fabienne Goldfarb is a professor in Paris-Saclay University, where she is currently deputy director of the Institute of the Sciences of Light. She made her PhD on electronic matter waves, and a post-doc in Austria on molecular matter waves. She now focuses more on atomic physics and light-matter interaction, with possible applications for quantum technologies.

Zhongzhong Qin received his Bachelor degree from Shanxi University in 2010. After receiving his PhD degree from East China Normal University in 2015, he accepted the position of Assistant Professor at Shanxi University, and then was promoted to Professor in 2021. In November 2022, he joined the University of Texas at Dallas as a Research Associate. His research interests lie broadly in the areas of quantum optics, quantum information and optical neural network. He has more than 30 peer-reviewed papers and around 800 total citations. Some of his works are published in prestigious journals, including Physical Review Letters, Science Advances, and PNAS.

In 2016, Dr. Yin Cai obtained the PhD diploma from the LKB laboratory of ENS，Paris. Now he is a professor in Xi’an Jiaotong University. His research focuses on the quantum optics and quantum information, and in particular, he did systematic works in constructing quantum networks using frequency comb and atomic nonlinearity. Recently, he has two projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China, and publications in the journals of Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters, etc.

Lecture: Atoms, spins and photons: From basis to spin noise spectroscopy

Fabien Bretenaker and Fabienne Goldfarb

When Alexandrov and Zapasskii demonstrated for the first time that the Faraday rotation noise spectrum can be used to detect magnetic resonances [AZ1981], the experiment was a real feat. More than 20 years later, thanks to technical advances in lasers, detection and signal processing tools, this method was rediscovered for studying spin dynamics in atoms as well as in solid-state paramagnets.

In this lecture, we progressively introduce the tools necessary to understand what is spin noise spectroscopy. We begin with the spin ½ and the two-level atom interacting with light, before giving some theoretical and practical background about noise. We will end up with recent spin noise spectroscopy results obtained with spin 1 atoms.

Seminar: Engineering, Characterization, and Applications of

Optical Non-classical States

Zhongzhong Qin

Research Associate, University of Texas at Dallas

Optical non-classical states, which include squeezed state, entangled state, single photon state, and Schrödinger cat state, are the cornerstone of quantum mechanics and quantum information science. In this talk, I will introduce the fundamental principles and experimental progresses on the generation, characterization and applications of various optical non-classical states. I will focus on two commonly used methods for the generation of optical non-classical states, namely four-wave mixing in atomic vapor and optical parametric oscillator based on nonlinear crystal. Furthermore, I will introduce our recent work on the generation and manipulation of squeezed Schrödinger cat state via an all-optical in-line squeezer.

Seminar: Continuous-variables Quantum Optical Networks：

From Generation to Application

Yin Cai

Multimode squeezing and entanglement are essential for constructing quantum networks and realizing quantum information processing. Based on the optical frequency combs, we will introduce some recent advances in building reconfigurable graph states and multi-parameter estimation. Also, with such method, some new quantum sates and applications for EPR steering and CVQKD will be discussed. In addition, using atomic coherence and nonlinearity, we will also present some new results of quantum entanglement with multimode and non-Hermitian control.
