2023 ANNUAL REPORT | BAR-ILAN INSTITUTE

81 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.
