Research Interest
I have been working in the field of quantum nanophotonics, an interdisciplinary area at the intersection of quantum optics, micro- and nano-photonics, and quantum information science. Specifically, my research focuses on the temporal degree of freedom of photons, which plays a crucial role in light–matter interactions and quantum interference. I proposed new schemes for deterministic quantum state transfer of light [1] and deterministic photonic quantum logic gates [2]. By investigating wavepacket interference between photons with different temporal profiles [3], I have proposed a metasurface-based approach for temporal waveform shaping of single photons [4]. Recently, I have demonstrated the capture of arbitrary temporal waveforms through the synthesis of complex frequencies [5].
