Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the generation of non-classical quantum states of light, the photon-level manipulation of quantum states and the accurate tomography of both quantum states and quantum processes. In optics, quantum information can be encoded and processed in both discrete and continuous variables. Hybrid approaches combining for example homodyne detection with conditional state preparation and manipulation are gaining increasing prominence. The development and characterization of a time-domain balanced homodyne detector (BHD) is presented. The detector has a bandwidth of 80 MHz, a

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with retrodiction and measurement in quantum optics. The latter of these two concepts is studied in particular form with a general optical multiport device, consisting of an arbitrary array of beam-splitters and phase-shifters. I show how such an apparatus generalizes the original projection synthesis technique, introduced as an in principle technique to measure the canonical phase distribution. Just as for the original projection synthesis, it is found that such a generalised device can synthesize any general projection onto a state in a finite dimensional Hilbert spa

Abstract:

Trapping ultracold atoms in optical lattices enabled the study of strongly correlated phenomena in an environment that is far more controllable and tunable than what was possible in condensed matter. Here, we consider coupling these systems to quantised light where the quantum nature of both the optical and matter fields play equally important roles in order to push the boundaries of what is possible in ultracold atomic systems. We show that light can serve as a nondestructive probe of the quantum state of matter. By considering a global measurement we show that it is possible to distinguish a

In this thesis, we demonstrate an array of photodetection theory and techniques bridging the traditional discrete and continuous variable experimental domains. In quantum optics, the creation and measurement of states of light are intertwined and we present experimental architectures considering both aspects.

We use our technique to provide a direct comparison to photon-counting measurements and observe that our technique exhibits superior speed, dynamic range and mode selectivit

Terahertz (THz) technology stands to solve a number of problems in everyday life, from next generation wireless communication to spectroscopic identification and imaging. However it is technically challenging to make a high power, compact source for terahertz radiation. The Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL), which produces gain at THz frequencies by exploiting inter-sub-band transitions in quantum wells, offers one solution to this problem. However controlling and detecting the emission from such sources remains a major challenge. This thesis investigates the theory and measurement of emission frequ

Abstract:

Photons have proven to be an effective test-bed for the fundamental concepts and elements of quantum-enhanced technologies. As systems become increasingly complex, however, practical considerations make the traditional approach of bulk optics and free-space propagation progressively more difficult. The major obstacles are the physical space necessary to realise and operate such a complex system, its stability, and maintaining low losses. In order to address these issues, quantum optical technologies can take a cue from their classical counterparts and look towards an integrated architecture to

We study the atom-light interaction in the fully quantum regime, with the focus on off-resonant light scattering into a cavity from ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice. Because of the global coupling between the atoms and the light modes, observing the photons leaking from the cavity allows the quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement of quantum correlations of the atomic ensemble, distinguishing between different quantum states. Moreover, the detection of the photons perturbs the quantum state of the atoms via the so-called measurement backaction. This effect constitutes an unusual a

Many quantum information tasks require measurements to distinguish between different quantum-mechanically entangled states (Bell states) of a particle pair. In practice, measurements are often limited to linear evolution and local measurement (LELM) of the particles. We investigate LELM distinguishability of the Bell states of two qubits (two-state particles) and qutrits (three-state particles), via standard projective measurement and via generalized measurement, which allows detection channels beyond the number of orthogonal single-particle states. Projective LELM can only distinguish 3 of 4

Many protocols and experiments in quantum information science are described in terms of simple measurements on qubits. However, in an experimental implementation, the exact description of the measurement is usually more complicated. If there is a claim made from the results of an experiment by using the simplified measurement description, then do the claims still hold when the more realistic description is taken into account? We present a "squashing" model that decomposes the realistic measurement description into first a map, followed by a simplified measurement. The squashing model then prov

Abstract:

Gravitational waves manifest as a time varying straining of space: they arise from the accelerating motions of large bodies of mass and propagate across the universe at the speed of light as ripples in the fabric of space-time, a fleetingly weak effect so far eluding direct detection. The detection of gravitation waves is expected to yield a rich vein to observational astronomy, complementing existing electromagnetic surveys and revealing a hitherto unexplored range of phenomena. First generation interferometric gravitational wave detectors, notably

當絶熱地改變哈密頓量的參數時，波函數會獲得一個幾何相位，既 Berry相。它可以表示為參數空間內一個局域的規範場，叫作 Berry曲率。Berry曲率在凝聚態物理的許多領域的研究中起著至關重要的作用，例如量子霍爾效應以及拓撲絶緣體。因此它已成為固體的最基本的性質之一。在量子霍爾效應中，霍爾電導可以表示為 Berry曲率在布里淵區上的積分。這個積分是一個量子化的 Chern數，並且反映了系統的拓撲結構。然而由於時間反演對稱性，拓撲絶緣體的霍爾電導等於零。因此對時間反演不變絶緣體的 Berry曲率的直接以及非破壞性的測量已經成為凝聚態物理中的重要問題。<br>在這篇論文中，我們提出標準的非線性光譜學可以用來探測時間反演不變絶緣體的性質，而且非線性光譜學的實驗比直流實驗更可控。通過計算，我們發現當遠紅外光和 THz光入射到樣品上時，系統的三階光學響應不為零，這與輸運實驗的結果相比形成了鮮明的對比。更重要的是響應函數正比於能帶的非阿貝爾 Berry曲率。這個結果提供了直接測量時間反演不變系統的 Berry曲率的可能性。<br>對具有(近似的 )空間旋轉對稱性的時間反演不變絶緣體，我們發現三階光學響應與等能球面的 Berry曲率通量直接相關。由於 Berry曲率通量給出了能帶簡併點處的奇異單子的拓撲電荷，因此人們可以利用這種方法直接測量能帶的拓撲結構。作為一個例子，這個方法被應用於 III-

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>光電工程學研究所<br>93<br>Gain spectrum measurement plays an important role in analysis of semiconductor electro-optic devices. Traditionally, the Hakki-Paoli method is used to measure the modulation depth of the Fabry–Perot mode spectrum of lasers below threshold. In this study, we introduce a variable-stripe-length method with current injection and a multi-section device method to demonstrate the gain spectrum measurement of quantum-dot and quantum-well structures. In this thesis, we discuss the modal gain in ground states and excited states of quantum-dot and quantum-well samples.

In such a way, it has become a very important issue that how to evaluate the quantum efficiency of phosphors. In this thesis, we has proposed an improved measuring setup for obtain the precise quantum efficiency of phosphors. The accuracy of the measurement has much enhanced in analysis.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>光電工程學研究所<br>95<br>Owing to the geometrical symmetry of microdisk (MD) cavities, they support whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in which light circulates around the periphery of the structure and is confined by total internal reflections at both the sidewall and the top and bottom surfaces of the MD. Being cladded symmetrically by the air at both surfaces, light is well confined inside the MD due to the large refractive index difference. With the InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) as the active region in the MD, the much broader gain spectrum allows more resonant WGMs to be observed due to
