Please join us for this week’s AMO/QI seminar featuring Dr. Josh Combes, University of Colorado, Boulder. He will be giving a talk titled: Nonclassical light interacting with matter and nonclassical measurements 

Abstract: 

In this talk, I'll begin by summarizing a decade of research into the effects on matter interacting with non-classical light pulses, such as Schrödinger cat states or photon number states. These interactions generate notable correlations between the incoming and radiated light, inducing non-Markovian behavior in the matter. The latter part of the talk will focus on utilizing non-classical light for advancing precision metrology techniques. In particular, I will consider using a Schrödinger cat state as a local oscillator to develop novel measurements in optical and atomic interferometry.
