My research interests lie broadly in the areas of experimental optical and quantum physics. This ranges from implementations of quantum information protocols with optical systems such as quantum key distribution for secure communications to studying fundamental quantum physics using optical means, e.g. examining the commutation relations between creation and annihilation operators. To this end, our work covers a significant spread of topics that includes development of new technologies and techniques for the creation, coherent manipulation, and complete characterization of quantum light.
