Making light matter

We have a new paper in Nature Communications, Observation of topologically protected bound states in photonic quantum walks. Here’s our press release which unfortunately didn’t quite make it into the official press channels because of a fundamental disconnect between what we researchers wanted to write and the official PR guidelines at UQ: At first glance, […]

Photonic ups and downs

The photons I work with have experienced a roller coaster lately, having been down-converted here and now up-converted in a new paper we just published in PRA. This time, the photons didn’t have to go their own way though. They were assisted in their journey from higher (810 nm) to lower wavelengths (532 nm) by […]

Quantum steering without the detection loophole

Our paper “Conclusive quantum steering with superconducting transition edge sensors” has now been published in Nature Communications. Quantum steering was introduced by fellow Austrian Erwin Schroedinger in 1935 alongside the much better known quantum phenomenon of entanglement. It describes the ability of one party to steer the measurement outcome of a second party on a […]
