Quantum multi-parameter estimation

Multi-parameter state estimation at the fundamental precision limit

Beam matching using machine learning

This project aims to use a machine learning algorithm to perform beam alignment in an optics experiment. It would involve mode-matching two optical beams using motorised mirror mounts. Additional degrees of freedom like lens positions and beam polarisation can be added later.

Quantum super resolution

When two point sources of light are close together, we just see one blurry patch. This project aims to use coherent measurement techniques in quantum optics to measure the separation between the point sources beyond the Rayleigh's limit.

Satellite based geodesy

Precise Earth gratitational field measurements with laser-ranging interferometry.

Developing new quantum and quantum-inspired classical algorithms to find good solutions for NP-hard problems.
