Professor Amr Helmy and his research team at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department are pioneering new methods in photonics by leveraging the quantum properties of photons.
According to an ECE article authored by Selah Katona, this innovative approach combines high and low-energy photons, traditionally used separately, to enhance quantum sensing and communication technologies. Funded by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Alliance grant, the team is applying these techniques across various wavelengths, including those in the radio frequency spectrum like cellular and Wi-Fi.
Helmy's research has significant implications for both research and industry. The team's work seeks to bridge the gap between different photon energies, thus enhancing the performance and scalability of quantum computing architectures. This approach promises to produce far-reaching advancements in communication, medical imaging systems, and other fields.
