WHAT: Generation of Maximally Entangled Coherent States and the
Measurement of Parity
WHO: Christopher Gerry (City University of New York, Lehman College)
WHEN: 3:40PM WED 21 OCT 09
WHERE: 435 NICHOLSON HALL
ABSTRACT: I will discuss the technical details of our work on the
generation of maximally entangle number and coherent states for the
purpose of performing Heisenberg-limited interferometry and for related
purposes such as quantum photo-lithography. I shall also discuss the
details our work on methods to perform photon-number parity
measurements that lead to improved interferometer.
