Biography:

Xiao-Ye Xu is a professor and doctoral supervisor of Optics at the School of Physical Science. He is supported by the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars of China and is a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Youth Innovation Promotion Association. His doctoral thesis was recognized as one of the Excellent Doctoral Dissertations of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2014. In 2016, he was selected as one member of the inaugural cohort of the Postdoctoral Innovation Talent Support Plan.

Research Interest:

Quantum Optics, Photonic Quantum Information, Quantum Measurement, Quantum Walks, etc.

What You Can Expect in the Project:

Spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) in the high gain region has raised great interest recently in quantum optics as well as in photonic quantum information. The project involves the theoretic and experimental investigation on the SPDC pumped by ultrashort laser pulse with a high pulse energy.

Desired skill and background:

Theoretical background on quantum optics and quantum information, experimental skills with optics
