Numerical package for characterizing quantum field generated by lossy micro-ring resonator

In this project, the intern will investigate mathematical models for sources of photons (the fundamental particles of light) with quantum properties that are suitable for implementation in computer software for the simulation and analysis of quantum information systems. These models are important for the design of realistic systems for quantum information processing and include the influence of the physical structure that guides the light and the non-linear effects of the materials used to construct the source. When combined with existing purpose-built simulation tools for analyzing the transformation of quantum information in photonic integrated circuits, these new models will support future development of photonic quantum computers and networks.
