  1. 688. Improving Physical Models of Qubit Decoherence and Readout
    Prof. Bill Coish (McGill University)

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Qubit coherence measurements are now sufficiently accurate that they can be used to perform 'spectroscopy' of noise due to a complex environment. Measuring not only the decay time, but also the form of decay as a function of some external parameter (e.g. temperature) can determine the nature of the dominant decoherence source. I will describe how temperature-dependent measurements of qubit...

    NanoQEY (Nano Quantum EncrYption satellite) is a demonstration satellite which will show the feasibility of implementing Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) between two ground stations on earth using a satellite trusted node approach. One of the main objectives of NanoQEY is to eliminate the necessity for a fine pointing system which will reduce cost and planning time for a satellite. The system...

  3. 788. Towards a Quantum Non-Demolition Measurement for Photonic Qubits
    Chetan Deshmukh (University of Calgary)

    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    Many applications of quantum information processing benefit from, or even require, the possibility to detect the number of photons in a given signal pulse without destroying the photons nor the encoded quantum state. We propose and show first steps towards the implementation of such a Quantum Non-Demolition (QND) measurement for time-bin qubits. To implement this measurement, we first store a...

  4. 443. Evanescent Waveguide Microscopies for Bio-Application
    Prof. Silvia Mittler (University of Western Ontario)
    16/06/2015, 16:45
    Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Canada / Division de la physique atomique, moléculaire et photonique, Canada (DAMOPC-DPAMPC)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Two new evanescent field microscopy technologies based on glass slab waveguides with permanent coupling gratings are introduced: waveguide evanescent field fluorescence (WEFF) microscopy and waveguide evanescent field scattering (WEFS) microscopy. The technologies are briefly described and the experimental setup based on a conventional inverted microscope is introduced and compared to...
