Detecting an eavesdropper in a quantum channel is essential in a quantum key distribution system. Sender Alice and receiver Bob (or all other involved personalities and end points) can rely on very high standards of security proofs to make a quantum channel nearly entirely secure. However, if an…

A very warm welcome to Cedric Traub, Markus Schmidt and Lisa Fischer who will do their Master and Bacherlor research thesis with us!

Happy to announce that the Stiller Lab got another Postdeadline Paper accepted, this time at the Frontiers in Optics 2023 Conference by Optica next week! Xinglin Zeng will present experiments on frequency conversion of orbital angular momentum information using structured acoustic waves!…

Postdeadline Paper at the PSC 2023 Conference (Photonics in Switching and Computing): our work on an optoacoustic perceptron for recurrent neural networks with Steven Becker and Dirk Englund from MIT has been accepted for the postdeadline session!

Congratulations Steven!

Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Using liquid-filled optical fibers and sound waves, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen have now discovered a new method to measure it. In collaboration with the Leibniz…

We report on the first optoacoustic recurrent operator for the application in optical neural networks:

An optoacoustic field-programmable perceptron for recurrent neural networks

Authors: Steven Becker, Dirk Englund and Birgit Stiller

Abstract:
A critical feature in signal processing is the…
