B1: Feedback control of photonic quantum networks

Principal investigator:

Prof. Dr. Andreas Knorr

Summary:

The focus of this project is to study the collective properties of small solid state based networks (coupled
photonic and acoustic cavities) in the extreme limit of only few quantum excitations. We develop
strategies for a fully quantum coherent feedback control, i.e. the use of quantum controllers (such as
external cavities or mirrors) for the selection, stabilization and synchronization of non-classical states in
quantum networks.
