Abstract: We propose to encode a quantum bit of information in a superposition of coherent states of an oscillator, with four different phases. Our encoding in a single cavity mode, together with a p...
Abstract: It has been a great success to use cold atoms in optical lattices to simulate various theoretical models in condensed matter physics in the last decade. On the other hand, current studies h...
Abstract: Quantum strategies have been successfully applied to game theory for years. However, as a reverse problem of game theory, the theory of mechanism design is ignored by physicists. In my talk...

Abstract: In optical microscopy and lithography, the resolution is restricted to about half the wavelength of the light by something called the diffraction limit. Many attempts have been made to adva...
Abstract: Topological orders describe novel states of matter that cannot be described in terms of symmetry and local order parameters. They feature degenerate, topologically protected ground states t...
