"Squeezed Light, Generation and Applications"


Dr. Eugeniy Mikhailov
Physics Department, College of William and Mary


Optical measurements are intrinsically limited by the quantum shot noise, which is the manifestation of the optical equivalent of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. I will talk about "squeezed" quantum states of light which allow performing measurements beyond standard quantum limit. I will introduce several methods for squeezed light generation and outline several applications of  the squeezed light,  such as optical  measurements without photons  and enhancement  of  the sensitivity  for  the gravitational  wave antenna such as LIGO.
