Two principal projects will be undertaken. They both engage modern photon-atom theory, and are designed to increase understanding of advanced methods of optical communication. In one case the principal issue is using light to influence light. A prime application would be to stop a light pulse by coherent absorption in a specific vapor, and later using a second pulse to retrieve it for use. In the other case, the goal is to show how to engage the quantum principle of entanglement in a purely non-quantum context, where light fields are projected to be feasible carriers of classical entanglement.The consequences and benefits of the research to be done are numerous, and include advances in speed and reliability of communication systems, potentially incorporating novel aspects of communication security. The skills acquired by the PhD students who will work on the two projects are expected to be valuable in both industrial and governmental development work following their graduation.

将实施两个主要项目。它们都采用现代光子原子理论，旨在增进对先进光通信方法的理解。在一种情况下，主要问题是使用光来影响光。一个主要的应用是通过特定蒸汽的相干吸收来停止光脉冲，然后使用第二个脉冲来检索它以供使用。在另一种情况下，目标是展示如何在纯粹的非量子背景下运用纠缠的量子原理，其中光场被预测为经典纠缠的可行载体。要完成的研究的后果和好处是众多，包括通信系统速度和可靠性方面的进步，有可能纳入通信安全的新颖方面。将从事这两个项目的博士生获得的技能预计将在毕业后对工业和政府发展工作有价值。
