In this paper, we propose a quantum memory protocol based on Brillouin scattering in an optical waveguide. We show how this concept enables broadband quantum state storage without relying on discrete cavity modes and identify continuum Brillouin optomechanical systems as a scalable platform for…

Das Förderprogram Optica Women Scholars der Optica Foundation unterstützt jedes Jahr weltweit 20 herausragende Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen mit einem Stipendium, einer einjährigen Optica Student Membership, sowie Zugang zu Mentoring und einem internationalen Netzwerk. Charlotte wurde 2026 für…

In this preprint we experimentally demonstrate the freezing of CS2-filled and fully sealed liquid core optical fibers to achieve a giant Brillouin gain. We utilize this high gain to create an optoacoustic memory with very low power usage and illustrate how this new platform can help boost the…

Dr. Changlong Zhu joined the group six years ago as our first postdoctoral researcher and worked on the theory of Brillouin quantum optoacoustics. He published several seminal papers with the group and helped shaping our understanding of continuum optoacoustics. Thank you Changlong for all the…

Dr. Artemii Tishchenko joins us as a Humbolt Research Fellow. Over this program The Alexander von Humbolt Foundation supports highly qualified researchers to carry out a self-chosen project with a host in Germany. Artemii graduated as a PhD student with the fiber optics group of B-PHOT Brussel…

Very warm welcome to Finn Tobien, Polina Moreva, Diana Salimdzhanova and Pratham Kulkarni! Finn, Polina and Diana will join us for their Bachelor and Master theses on different projects in our group. Pratham already joined a while ago as an intern and works on our new project on Thin Film Lithium…
