Unravelling Quantum Dimensions of Light
In ISI’s Laboratory for Quantum Limited Information (QLIlab), researchers seek to understand—and push—the fundamental limits set by the laws of quantum mechanics. Potential applications include quantum cryptography, higher resolution cameras, and detecting communication coming from deeper in space (is anyone out there?).
