- Visible-Light Photonic Integration for Atomic and Quantum Sciences and Applications
- Time: 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
- Place: Discovery Building, DeLuca Forum
- Speaker: Daniel J Blumenthal, University of California Santa Barbara
- Abstract:
Visible-light integrated photonics will enable compact, reliable quantum and atomic experiments. Integration also has the potential to bring about improved performance and scalability as well as new functionality for sensing, computation, clocks, and metrology. We discuss progress in ultra-low-loss silicon nitride integration for precision lasers, modulators, and other atomic and quantum related photonics. We will also describe progress towards higher-level functionality integration in experiments and applications that involve cold atoms, trapped ions and neutral atoms.
This event starts at 3:30pm with refreshments, followed at 3:45pm by a short presentation by Xuting Yang (Jennifer Choy group), titled "Atomic magnetometry using a metasurface polarizing beamsplitter". The invited presentation starts at 4pm.
