Overview of Academic Research
Professor Huang Yunfeng has been engaged in experimental research in the field of photonic quantum information processing for a long time. In 2012, he began to expand his research field to trapped ion quantum computing.
His major achievements include:
* Experimentally testing of the Kochen-Specker theory, prove that the environment-independent hidden variable theory is not valid.
* Experimentally demonstration of quantum controlled NOT gate teleportation.
* Observe six-photon interference for the first time, and study the temporal distinguishability of multi-photon states
*Preparation of eight-photon entangled states for the first time, breaking the previous record of preparing six-photon entangled states.
*Verification of six-photon GHZ-type non-locality for the first time, and prepared the highest fidelity six-photon GHZ state.
*Distribution of three-dimensional orbital angular momentum entangled photon pairs in 1 km of optical fiber.
