Research Interests

We are engaged in a variety of different experimental and theoretical investigations within the general area of quantum optics. Most experiments deal with elementary quantum processes involving single atoms and single photons, like atomic resonance fluorescence and parametric frequency splitting of single photons into two. We are also applying quantum optical techniques to the study of locality violations, quantum interference effects and the determination of the quantum phase.
