Soft and biological quantum light sources
Quantum optics is an exciting and rapidly growing research field with a huge potential in different applications such as quantum communications, computing, sensing, and imaging. One of the most crucial components of any quantum optical device is a source of non-classical light, called a quantum light source. Currently, these sources are almost exclusively based on solid-state inorganic materials, which limits their properties, such as lack of complex geometries and limited tunability. In the past, I have pioneered the use of liquid crystals and biomaterials to make various photonic devices. Notably, I made a laser inside a live human cell. Since then, this pioneering work has been employed…
