In this presentation I will be talking about the project we have done in our group since last October on the emission of a QD embedded in a nano-wire.

This is the eighth of the Intellectual Property (IP) Management Lunch and Learn Lecture Series. We are bringing in thought leaders in the protection and management of intellectual property, including many years of experience in relevant areas of information technology.
This session will be led by Dr. Douglas Beynon.
A fundamental assumption of quantum statistical mechanics is that closed isolated systems always thermalize under their own dynamics. Progress on the topic of many-body localization has challenged this vital assumption, describing a phase where thermalization, and with it, equilibrium thermodynamics, breaks down.
The full manipulation of a quantum system can endow us with the power of computing in exponentially increased state space without exponential growth of physical resources. In this thesis, we are dedicated to the developments in superconducting devices and layout design for their future applications in large-scale quantum computation.
The quantum marginal problem asks whether a family of quantum marginals are compatible with a global quantum state. It is of central importance to a wide range of topics in both quantum many body physics and quantum information. Often it can be the case that when a family of quantum marginals are compatible with a global quantum state, that global state is unique.
The absorptance in vertical nanowire (nw) arrays is typically dominated by three optical phenomena: radial mode resonances, near-field evanescent wave coupling, and Fabry–Perot (F-P) mode resonances. The contribution of these optical phenomena to GaAs, InP and InAs nw absorptance was simulated using the finite element method. The study compared the absorptance between finite and semi-infinite nws with varying geometrical parameters, including the nw diameter (D), array period (P), and nw length (L).
We describe two procedures which, given access to one copy of a quantum state and a sequence of two-outcome measurements, can distinguish between the case that at least one of the measurements accepts the state with high probability, and the case that all of the measurements have low probability of acceptance.
We consider the problem of testing two quantum hypotheses of quantum operations in the setting of many uses where an arbitrary prior distribution is given. The concept of the Chernoff bound for quantum operations is investigated to track the minimal average probability of error of discriminating two quantum operations asymptotically.

The speaker for this session is to be determined.
The temporal structure of quantum light offers an intrinsically high-dimensional and robust platform for encoding quantum information. In particular, the time-frequency degree of freedom can be explored in the frame of pulsed temporal modes, the ultrafast analogy to spatial Hermite-Gauss or orbital angular momentum modes. These overlapping temporal modes are naturally compatible with waveguide devices and fibre infrastructure, but present unique challenges to fully explore and exploit.
