Introduction
Along with my students, coworkers, and collaboraters, I perform research into radiometry, quantum information with photonic systems, and quantum metrology.News
- 2012/06/01: I was awarded Best Talk at CORM 2012! Best of all,
this was voted on by all the attendees. Thanks.
- 2012/05/27: Our Mapping Coherence in Detection has been
highlighted in Nature Photonics - News and Views. To quote:
"[it's]... a huge improvement over previous results."
- 2012/05/20: Our paper on Mapping Coherence in measurement via tomography of a hybrid optical detector has been published in Nature Photonics! Congratulations to Lijian Zhang and all my coauthors.
- 2012/03/15: Q+ presentation on video on "Direct Observation of the Wavefunction" is here
- 2012/02/13: Our paper on proposing a Procedure for Direct Measurement of General Quantum States Using Weak Measurement is published PRL. Experimental results are coming soon!

my paper on measuring the spatial mode of beam of light has
appeared in Optics
Express!
- 2011/12/20: Our paper on the measurement of the wavefunction was chosen as 2nd most important Physics Breakthrough of 2011 by Physics World!
- 2011/12/10: I was awarded the NRC-INMS Young Investigator of 2011
Award in recognition of research excellence!
- 2011/8/18: Our paper on superconducting nanowires - Nonlinearity
in single photon detection: modelling and quantum tomography has
just come out in Optics Express! Congratulations to my collaboraters at
