Summary on Grant Application Form
Describe the proposed research in about 200 words.Quantum interference and correlations between particles are at the heart of current developments in quantum information processing. The proposed Network focuses on the foundations and applications of quantum correlations and interference with particular emphasis on their optical realizations. This field has seen explosive growth in recent years; stimulated by applications such as quantum cryptography, quantum computation, quantum communication and precision measurement, all of which have the potential to surpass their classical counterparts. This new technology will provide deep insights into many other areas of science including the understanding of optical and electronic device operations and in turn enhancing their performance at the quantum scale, and will undoubtedly lead to many new applications. Researchers in the UK have been pioneers in this new area of research. To continue to be world-leading in this inherently interdisciplinary research, it is essential to have a forum to share expertise and discuss problems. This Network will support short-term visits to partner labs, sponsor workshops as part of a coordinated campaign, and establish and manage the Network website. An emphasis of the proposed Network is to encourage young researchers' mobility. In particular, we will have workshops specifically for young researchers. The Network envisages a close collaboration with the forthcoming EPSRC initiatives on Quantum Information. At the
