RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

04/2009- Post-doctoral Research Associate with Prof. Min Xiao, Univ. of Arkansas, Fayetteville

• Entangling Different Nonlinear Optical Processes

current

o Proposed to entangle four-wave mixing (FWM) and six-wave mixing (SWM) at the

single-photon level in atomic four-level systems.

• Generating Tripartite Entanglement in Atomic Gas Media

o Proposed to generate triphoton narrowband W state entangled in time and space via two

FWMs in atomic coherent gas media using electromagnetically induced transparency

(EIT) and slow light effects.

o Proposed to produce tripartite continuous-variable (CV) entanglement via two FWMs in

atomic gas media.

o Proposed to use multiphoton Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states entangled in

time and space to achieve sub-Rayleigh imaging for applications in such as quantum

sensors.

• Talbot Effect or Self-Imaging

o Studied the Talbot effect (or self-imaging) with use of entangled photon pairs in

quantum imaging and lithography configuration.

Extended the Talbot effect from the conventional linear optics case to the nonlinear

o

regime for the first time.

01/2009- Post-doctoral Research Associate with Prof. Charles A. Sackett, Univ. of Virginia

• Temporally Shaping Biphoton Wavepackets

03/2009

o Proposed to temporally shaping biphoton waveforms with periodically modulated

driving fields to engineer the nonclassical state for quantum information processing.

05/2007- Post-doctoral Research Associate with Profs. Morton H. Rubin & Yanhua Shih, UMBC

• Characterization of Tripartite Entanglement in Time and Space

12/2008

o Characterized the distinction of triparticle-entangled states in time space between the

GHZ and W classes for the first time.

• Generating Narrowband Biphotons near Atomic Resonance in Cold Atomic Gases

o Studied optical properties of biphotons generated from a cold atomic gas with two-,

three-, or four-level configurations in the FWM process and showed that the new

resource offers long coherence time, long coherence length, high spectral brightness,

and high conversion efficiency.

o Analyzed effects of linear optical responses of the media to the two-photon

coincidences and demonstrated these effects can switch the two-photon interference

from constructive to destructive.

o Developed full quantum theory on calculating the spectroscopy in radiation-matter

interaction systems and illustrated the generation mechanism of paired photons

produced from the new sources.

o Proposed a new type of polarization-entanglement biphoton generation in a three-level

system and examined how to manipulate the polarization of generated photons under

different pumping conditions.

• Quantum Nonlinear Optics at the Low-Light Level

o Characterized the FWM processes in cold atomic gas and showed the possibility of the

interference occurring between different FWMs.

o Showed that the coupled Maxwell field operator equations can have different coupling

coefficients from the classical FWM field equations in the two-photon limit.

05/2003- Graduate Research Assistant with Prof. Morton H. Rubin UMBC

• Triphoton and Multi-Photon Imaging & Lithography

05/2007

o Studied spatial correlation of triphoton and multi-photon and demonstrated the

improvement in resolution and visibility using multi-photon entangled state in photon

counting measurements.

o Generalized the Klyshko’s advanced-wave picture to the entangled multi-photon case.

• Transverse Correlation of Entangled Photons Generated from an EIT System

o Explored transverse effects of nonclassical light produced from a double-Lambda EIT

medium in both the low-gain and high-gain cases.

• Quantum Memory with the Use of EIT

o Demonstrated the feasibility of a single-photon quantum memory by storing and

retrieving spontaneous parametric down-conversion photons using an EIT system.

o Studied the properties of nonclassical squeezed light after such a memory.

o Proposed a matched multi-Lambda scheme to achieve broadband EIT by taking

advantage of linearization of multiple three-level Lambda-EIT configurations.
