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.
