What? What is our research about at the Physics Department in Wolverhampton?
Who? Elena del Valle (our new Quantum Optics Senior Lecturer).
Where? Wulfruna building (city campus), MC224.
When? Fri 27 September, 17:00.
Why? Elena will introduce the research in Physics in Wolverhampton in general and her own research in particular.
How? The talk is one hour and open to questions, refreshement will be available.

Chair: Juan Camilo López Carreño.

The research in Physics at the University of Wolverhampton covers broad areas around the physics of light-matter coupling. In particular, we collectively study the behaviours of compound objects that are part-light, part-matter (known as "polaritons"). I will give a short overview of what this field is about at the Research level. My own area of study concerns quantum systems of different sorts, with as a common theme, how those systems can be designed to emit quantum light, with only a few "photons" (the ultimate light constituents) at a time, which is useful for future fancy applications such as the quantum computer. I will overview some of the ways I figured out to obtain streams of single photons or of bunches of any number of them, or with striking quantum properties such as entanglement. I will also discuss ongoing projects we have in mind regarding outreach and public engagement where students participation would be most welcome.
