Introduction

We are an experimental quantum optics group run by Kevin Resch, based in the Department of Physics & Astronomy and the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo.

Violation of new Bell’s Inequalities in PRA

A new paper, Experimental violation of three families of Bell’s Inequalities by Lydia Vermeyden, Madeleine Bonsma, Crystal Noel, John Donohue, Elie Wolfe, and Kevin Resch was just published in Physical Review A.

Abstract: Bell’s inequalities are important to our understanding of quantum foundations and critical to several quantum technologies. A recent work [ E. […]

Deny wins Dean of Science Award

Deny Hamel has been awarded the 2011 University of Waterloo Dean of Science Award for his MSc thesis, Realization of novel entangled photon sources using periodically-poled materials. Congratulations Deny!

The Dean of Science Award is given in recognition of outstanding performance in the Master of Science program. One certificate will normally be awarded annually to […]

Entanglement-assisted classical communication in PRL

Our paper, Entanglement-assisted classical communication over a noisy classical channel, by Robert Prevedel, Yang Lu, Rainer Kaltenbaek, Will Matthews, and Kevin Resch was published today in Physical Review Letters. This article was chosen as a Editor’s Suggestion and selected for a Viewpoint in Physics entitled ‘Entangled in a dating game‘ by Mark Wilde (McGill University). […]

Entangled state discrimination results in PRA

Our paper Minimum-error discrimination of entangled quantum states by Yang Lu, Nick Coish, Rainer Kaltenbaek, Deny Hamel, Sarah Croke, and Kevin Resch was published today in Physical Review A.

Experimental Bound Entanglement in PRL

Experimental Bound Entanglement in a Four-Photon State by Jonathan Lavoie, Rainer Kaltenbaek, Marco Piani, and Kevin Resch was published today in Physical Review Letters.

Bound entanglement is central to many exciting theoretical results in quantum information processing, but has thus far not been experimentally realized. In this work, we consider a […]

Remote state preparation results published in PRA

Our paper, Derivation and experimental test of fidelity benchmarks for remote preparation of arbitrary qubit states, was published in Physical Review A. This work was done in collaboration with Norbert Lütkenhaus at IQC.
