Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Quantum information processing offers the promise of new technologies that can manipulate light and matter directly at the quantum level. Within the next few years it is expected that small scale quantum information processors will be developed and applications to exploit them will be required. Many of these technologies will rely on entanglement for their improvement. Entanglement involves correlations between subsystems that cannot be explained by classical correlations between each subsystem. It enables a more efficient use of physical resources than classical physics allows. One potential application outside the communication and computation arena are precision measurements. The aim of this project is to develop new practical schemes for high precision measurements in optics and electronics using quantum entanglement which could utilise small scale quantum information processing devices. This project will result in new classes of high precision measurements.
