A single-shot Toffoli, or controlled-controlled-NOT, gate is desirable for classical and for quantum information processing. The Toffoli gate alone is universal for reversible computing and, accompanied by the Hadamard gate, are universal for quantum computing. The Toffoli gate is a key ingredient for (non-topological) quantum error correction. Currently Toffoli gates are achieved by...

The atom-photon interaction is significantly amplified when the radiation field is confined inside a high-finesse cavity, resulting in a complex, coupled dynamics of the quantized matter and radiation fields. This coupled dynamics in turn mediates long-ranged interactions between atoms. Here we demonstrate how to simultaneously induce spin-orbit (SO) coupling and long-ranged interactions in a...

Developing methods for the detection of single molecule interacting with the environment has been a large area of research. These methods are quite varied in their execution and include antigen binding, surface plasmon resonance, fluorescence among many others. These methods all take advantage of the fact that molecular processes often change how a substrate interacts with light when a...

Entanglement is required for most applications in quantum information science. In optics,
the most widespread source of entangled photon pairs is the nonlinear optical process
of parametric down-conversion. Through this process, single high energy pump photons are
converted into pairs of lower energy photons. In the first part of my talk I will describe
our realization of cascaded...
