Quantum Electro-Optics

Quantum technologies are emerging as a promising field of research and innovation, with potential applications in various domains such as computation, communication, sensing, and metrology. However, there are still many challenges and limitations that hinder the scalability and performance of quantum systems and quantum computers. One of these challenges is the efficient and reliable control and manipulation of quantum states using electrically driven optical devices, such as transducers, modulators, switches, and couplers. These electro-optical devices are essential for interfacing different quantum platforms, such as superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and photonic qubits, as well as for implementing quantum operations, such as readout, entanglement, and routing. Therefore, developing novel electro-optical technologies that are compatible with the requirements of quantum systems and quantum computers is a key research goal.
