Prof. Pe’er Avi Department of Physics Member of BINA Nano-Photonics Center Research Areas • Optical bandwidth as a resource for quantum information: Novel schemes for quantum measurement and sources of broadband squeezed light • Sub shot-noise interferometry and coherent Raman spectroscopy (quantum CARS) using broadband squeezed light. • Visualization and manipulation of fast vibrational dynamics in molecules with optical frequency combs • The physics of mode-locked lasers: new sources of ultrashort pulses and frequency combs Abstract Broadband Quantum Optics I am an expert in quantum optics and laser physics, specializing in precision measurement and control of lightmatter interaction with broadband light sources. In quantum optics, we harness broadband quantum entanglement and squeezing of light to overcome the classical precision limits of physical measurements. Specifically, I utilize my expertise in the “less common” field of broadband time- energy entangled bi-photons to develop schemes of ultra-high speed quantum communication (quantum key distribution - QKD) and of nonlinear Raman spectroscopy beyond the classical limits. As a laser-physicist, I develop schemes for visualization and manipulation of fast molecular dynamics using novel sources of optical frequency combs. I dwell into the physics of mode locked lasers in order to develop new sources of ultrashort pulses with unique, attractive and otherwise unattainable properties. I was trained in Tel-Aviv University (BSc.) and at the Weizmann Institute (Ms.C and Ph.D). I joined Bar Ilan University in 2008 after completing post-doctoral research at JILA, a Joint institute of the University of Colorado and The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado.
