Hello all. I did my Ph.D. in experimental quantum optics and quantum information at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Dr. Aephraim Steinberg. I did a post-doc in Ian Walmsley's group at the University of Oxford in quantum optics and quantum information in integrated optical circuits. Following that, I worked in standards and metrology at the National Research Council Canada. I am now an Associate Professor in Physics at the University of Ottawa.

Articles I initiated

• degree of coherence
• interferometric visibility
• acousto-optic modulator
• interferometric visibility
• Wigner quasi-probability distribution
• POVM
• Interaction-free measurement
• Massasauga Provincial Park
• List of types of interferometers

Articles I substantially changed

• spontaneous parametric down-conversion
• coherent state
• Brewster's angle
• coherence (physics)
• principle of minimum energy
• Optical activity

Articles I am changing here and there

• nonlinear optics
• Dispersion (optics)

Articles I want to edit

• Electric Field
• SPIDER
• Quantum optics # History of quantum optics
• Quantum chaos
• Integrated optical circuit

Tip of the day...

Using Math

When using math in an article, there are two different types of markup that one can use. It is important to be consistent throughout an article and use the same type of markup. If a formula appears all on the same line, it would be better to use HTML than LaTeX, because L^∞ looks better in line than $L^{\infty }$ does; however it's generally a bad idea to attempt to render $Q(x)={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2\pi }}}\int _{x}^{\infty }e^{-t^{2}/2}dt={\frac {1}{2}}\,\operatorname {erfc} \left({\frac {x}{\sqrt {2}}}\right),\ x\geq {}0$ in HTML.
