Photonic Quadrupole Topological Insulators
Topological Source of Entangled Photons
Optical Frequency Combs
The research focus of the Quantum photonics Lab at Northeastern University is twofold:
-
Use complex integrated photonics photonic systems as a platform to emulate various quantum phenomena observed in condensed-matter systems, such as topological insulators, Floquet systems, and non-Hermitian systems.
-
Utilize such condensed-matter physics-inspired techniques to control the flow of photons and develop innovative photonic devices for applications in both classical and quantum domains. Examples of such devices include unconventional optical frequency combs, sources of quantum light such as entangled photons and squeezed states, and quantum-enhanced sensors.
We also work on interfacing quantum emitters and defects in two-dimensional quantum materials with complex photonic systems.
