Controlling light with giant atoms
Mentor: Imran Mirza, Ph.D.
Quantum information is a flourishing field that allows for the processing of information in new and efficient ways. In this work, we study the ability to control the routing of a single photon using giant atoms and waveguides. Giant atoms are systems that behave like atoms but take up more space, allowing a single atom to interact with waveguides, or optical fibers, simultaneously in multiple places. Many configurations are examined, all of which outperform the routing capabilities of a single giant atom. This study is essential to the building of scalable quantum computers, ultimately revolutionizing many fields.
