Bright Quantum Squeezed Light in IIST Quantum squeezing refers to quantum noise reduction beyond the standard quantum limit (SQL), the minimum noise limit in classical physics. In IIST, for the first time in India, we have generated the bright-entangled twin beams of light and measured their intensity-difference squeezing of 4 dB, corresponding to a 60% noise reduction from the SQL. The squeezed light is an important resource for quantum communication and quantum cryptography, quantum enhanced sensing and quantum information processing. Moreover, the present work is a significant milestone for developing quantum technologies at IIST. This work is done by PhD students Mr. Jerin A Thachil, Mr. Chirang Patel and Ms, Priyanka M under the supervision of Dr. Ashok Kumar in the Physics Department of IIST Thiruvananthapuram.
