Overview of Academic Research
Prof. Shi’s research interest is the systematic research in the fields of quantum communication, quantum precision measurement, and nonlinear optical field manipulation. Prof. Shi has achieved some important progresses in the preparation of photon entanglement sources, quantum information research based on orbital angular momentum degrees of freedom, microwave electric field measurement based on Rydberg atoms, and nonlinear manipulation of structured optical fields.
Prof. Shi proposed and implemented a design scheme for generating a entangled photon pair based on a Sagnac interferometer, which has now become into a standard entanglement source structure; For the first time, Prof. Shi has realized the quantum storage of single photons and entangled photons with orbital angular momentum, opening up a new direction in quantum storage; besides, Prof. Shi has also realized broadband single photon storage firstly, marking the first landmark achievement in the field of broadband quantum storage; Furthermore, Prof. Shi has realized the nonlinear frequency transformation of single photons and entangled photons with orbital angular momentum, solving the problems of information transfer and linking between different physical systems; In addition, Prof. Shi proposed and implemented a new microwave electric field measurement scheme by using critical phase transition based on Rydberg atoms, and also made the first combination of machine learning and microwave electric field measurement, providing a new method for high fidelity identification of multiple microwave signals. The relevant results have been published in journals such as Nature Photonics/Physics/Commun., Sci. Adv., PRL/X.
