Nicolas Treps' multimode quantum optics group (with Valentina Parigi and Claude Fabre) generates and characterises highly multimode squeezed and entangled states of light. Research: (1) optical frequency combs as multimode squeezed state resources — quantum metrology and sensing with frequency combs; (2) reconfigurable multimode squeezed state networks for quantum computing and sensing; (3) spatiotemporal squeezing with optical parametric amplifiers. Key for quantum-enhanced sensing with light.

Walschaers provides theoretical support for LKB's multimode quantum-optics team, working on entanglement structure, non-Gaussian states, and metrological usefulness of large-scale squeezed-light networks generated via frequency combs.

Emil Zeuthen works on theoretical quantum optomechanics and quantum transduction. Research focuses on (1) figures of merit and protocols for quantum transducers (mechanical interfaces between microwave and optical domains); (2) back-action-evading measurements using optomechanical systems; (3) quantum limits for gravitational wave detection with mechanical systems in a negative-mass spin reference frame. Key QUANTOP theory collaborator bridging optomechanics and quantum sensing.
