Excited to be in Charlotte for #CLEO2026 and looking forward to a full week of inspiring science, new ideas, and conversations with the photonics community. A lot of exciting talks this week from Sahil Pontula, Debasmita Banerjee, Rom Simovitch and Julian Orozco Herrera, highlighting several directions our group is pursuing, from multimode quantum entanglement, THz generation, photonic computing, quantum sensing, and quantum-state tomography. Here is where to find our presentations: Monday, May 18, 8:30AM | Room W209 DE SM1J.3 — Doubly resonant nanosecond pumped cavity for narrowband THz generation by Sahil Pontula Monday, May 18, 4:30PM | Room W207 BC SM4E.2 — Long-range quantum correlations and entanglement in ultrafast multi-frequency comb systems by Sahil Pontula Tuesday, May 19, 5:15PM | Room W209 DE FTU2C.5 — Programmable multimode quantum correlations across multiple frequency combs by Debasmita Banerjee Wednesday, May 20, 2:15PM | Room W207 A SW1C.5 — All-optical spiking neurons realized via biased optical parametric oscillator by Rom Simovitch Wednesday, May 20, 5:00PM | Room W209 F FW2F.4 — Biased Vacuum-Driven Probabilistic State Switching In a Near-Threshold Degenerate OPO by Rom Simovitch Thursday, May 21, 9:45–10:00AM | Room W209 F FTH1D.5 — Quantum critical sensing with a biased optical parametric oscillator by Julian Orozco Herrera Thursday, May 21, 4:30PM | Room W201 BD FTH4A.3 — Non-destructive intracavity quantum-state tomography with a correlated-mode non-degenerate OPO by Rom Simovitch Looking forward to a great week at CLEO and to seeing many colleagues and friends!
