Good progress today on the quantum optical hardware for our #QuantumCommunications #QuantumInternet testbed.

#introduction

I lead a group in #quantum technologies at a US national lab. My background is in quantum #optics, but these days I spend my time primarily thinking about things like #QuantumComputing, #QuantumNetworks, #QuantumCommunications, #QuantumSensing, and #QuantumCryptography.

I am also an Ambassador for Optica (formerly the Optical Society or OSA). In my role as Optica Ambassador, I engage in outreach and mentorship to students and early career professionals within the optics and photonics community.
